== Race and ethnicity in the global south ==
|
||
In 2011, the Australian Research Council (ARC) awarded Anderson a Laureate Fellowship, making him the first historian to receive this award and the only applicant from the humanities to receive a fellowship in that round. The fellowship supported comparative, transnational research in the history of ideas of race and human difference in the Global South. These studies involved collaborators from Brazil, New Zealand, and South Africa, and over the course of the fellowship supported six post-doctoral fellows.
|
||
|
||
== Disease ecology and planetary health ==
|
||
With the support of an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant, Anderson has worked on the conceptual development and ethics of planetary health and the health aspects of climate change, extending his earlier studies of disease ecology. His articles on the subject include:
