Mark Hunter's research utilizes historical-ethnographical methods and a spatial lens to provide an original perspective on the social roots of everyday inequalities in health, education, addiction, and labor, focusing particularly on the context of South Africa. With over thirty years of fieldwork in the country, Hunter examines the ways in which sexuality, friendship, labor, families, education, and addiction shape social spatial inequalities. He has authored significant works on HIV/AIDS and education, with notable projects funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. His publications include 'Race and Education: Gender, White Tone, and Schooling in South Africa' and 'Love in the Time of AIDS: Inequality, Gender, and Rights in South Africa', both of which have received prestigious awards. Hunter encourages applications from students interested in intersecting areas of education, health, gender, race, addiction, and development, drawing on a wide range of theorists including Marx, Fanon, and Foucault in his academic work.
