Ella Vallelonga

Ella Vallelonga is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies at the University of Adelaide. Her research examines the more-than-human relationalities, ecological emotions and sensory ruptures of marine care in contexts of coral reef precarity. Operating in the spaces of multispecies ethnography and environmental anthropology, her research navigates the biopolitics of human-environment and human-water relations, and considers care and control as it manifests in Great Barrier Reef adaptation and intervention. She is supervised by Associate Professor Georgina Drew, Dr. Alison Dundon and Associate Professor Douglas Bardsley.
