About
Nolan Kline is an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology and the co-coordinator of the Global Health Program at Rollins College. Prior to his position at Rollins, he was an assistant professor in the College of Health and Human Sciences at Purdue University. He received a PhD in applied anthropology and a master of public health from the University of South Florida. Kline's primary research areas include immigrant policing, Latinx im/migrant health, and LGBTQ+ Latinx activism after the Pulse shooting. He has also worked on a number of studies focused on structural impediments to improving HPV vaccination rates. Much of his research is informed by theories of biopolitics, citizenship, critical race theory, and the political economy of health. His forthcoming book, "Pathogenic Policing: Immigration Enforcement and Health in the US South," traces the health-related consequences of immigration legislation and police practices in Atlanta, Georgia. As an applied, medical anthropologist who uses engaged methodologies, his work intersects with policy, health, and activism.
Current Work
Nolan Kline is currently working on two projects: 1) the consequences of immigrant policing and immigration policy in Atlanta, Georgia, and Central Florida and 2) LGBTQ+ Latinx activism following the Pulse shooting in Orlando, Florida.
