About |
PhD student in Social and Cultural Anthropology.
My research in anthropology is concerned with the social and cultural aspects of marine interspecies relations, that is relations between different species living in and around the sea, in particular people and fish. The main site of my fieldwork is on the island of Lavongai (or New Hanover), in Western Oceania, where I was in 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023 for a total of 15 months. There, I studied fishing activities, in particular ritual practices aiming to influence the behaviour of fish, marine ethno-biology, ethno-ichtyology, and also ethno-ornithology. |
