Sera Young

Dr. Sera L. Young is a Professor of Anthropology and the Morton O. Schapiro Faculty Fellow at Northwestern University. As an applied nutritional anthropologist, she has dedicated her career to understanding how women, especially in low-resource settings, cope to preserve their health and that of their families. Her current research is focused on quantifying human experiences with problems with water, and unpacking their consequences for nutrition, health, and well-being. To that end, she led a large team in the development of the Water InSecurity Experiences (WISE) Scales, the first cross-country equivalent way of measuring water access and use.
