Dr. Fikriyah Winata is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geosciences at Mississippi State University. Her research encompasses human geography and geospatial sciences. Broadly, her research seeks to understand how humans’ interactions with places affect their health and wellbeing, especially among marginalized communities. Dr. Winata uses GIS, spatial and statistical analyses, and mixed-methods approaches to investigate access to health care, healthy food stores, and health-promoting places and social networks in the United States, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. In addition, she has investigated the mobility patterns and access to therapeutic landscapes & networks among Indonesian female domestic workers (FDWs) in Hong Kong who live within space and time constraints due to the nature of their employment. As a human geographer with a strong background and interest in GIS, Dr. Winata’s research contributes to health and wellbeing geographies, immigrant health, feminist geography, and geospatial sciences.
