Ella Vallelonga

Dr Ella Vallelonga is a Research Fellow in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Adelaide. Her ethnographic research examines the more-than-human relationalities, ecological emotions and phenomenological ruptures of submarine care, with attention to posthuman feminisms. Operating in the spaces of multispecies ethnography and environmental anthropology, her work navigates the biopolitics of marine intervention, and attunes to the sensorial dialogues that echo in ecological restorations. She is most concerned with examining co-species care and wellbeing in contexts of ecological crises. She has supported major MRFF projects in Public Health addressing vaping health-risk behaviours and youth vaping experiences.
