Areas of Expertise
Dr. Lambertβs teaching and research has crossed the traditional boundaries of bioethics, indigenous studies, the history of medicine and religious studies. Focusing on leprosy (Hansenβs disease) and its modern history in the United States, especially Hawaiβi, Dr. Lambert studies the impact of stigmatizing diseasesβHIV/AIDS, mental illness and neglected tropical diseasesβupon already marginalized communities.
Having grown up in Kirksville, MO, Dr. Lambert is very familiar with osteopathic medicine and is eager to pursue new research on the historical development of osteopathy, especially regarding A.T. Stillβs familiarity with Native American therapeutics and medical epistemology of the Shawnee.
