Fellow, 2020-21
Angelica Calabrese is an MA student in Anthropology at The New School for Social Research. She is interested in geographies of capitalism and in the interdependencies of landscape, plants, people, pathogens, and capital. Her research is specifically focused on landscape histories, mobile plants and pathogens, and olive grove ecologies in southern Europe and the Mediterranean, where she is investigating the causes, consequences, and afterlives of environmental destruction.
Prior to beginning her MA at The New School, Angelica worked as an international educator in West Africa and Southeast Asia. She received her BA in Anthropology from Yale University.
