Portrait of Amanda Veile

I am an evolutionary anthropologist, and my research program is focused on human birthing and breastfeeding behaviors and outcomes, and several epidemiologic factors that shape cross-cultural variation in child development. I currently maintain field research projects in Mexico and Peru. I am an Associate Professor of Biological Anthropology, the Director of LABOR (Laboratory for Behavior, Ontogeny and Reproduction), a Center for Families Fellow, and hold a courtesy faculty appointment in the Department of Public Health at Purdue University. I am also an Assistant Editor at Birth, a peer-reviewed obstetrics and gynecology journal, and the current Program Chair of the Human Biology Association.
