Anna Notsu is a lecturer and PhD scholar at the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology (CADS). She conducted research on climate change as a form of violence and how the idea of climate change embedded in people's everyday lives shapes the transformation of agriculture in Sicily. At present, she carries out research under the Futuring Heritage project, funded by the NWO Open-L grant. Her current work explores the intersection of environmental destruction and recuperation in the Indian state of Meghalaya, focusing on how nonhuman presences, including deities, influence the trajectory of future-making. Anna's interests include political ecology, slow violence, multispecies ethnography and more-than-human anthropology.
