About Atalia Israeli-Nevo

I'm an anthropology PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin. My research revolves queer fantasies and animal labor; specifically, I observe the work of small-scale queer farmers in the rural German East, and their relations with their animals, as well thinking through issues of urban/rural connections, exclusions (of both humans and nonhumans), gendered landscapes and postcolonialism. I also work on a "side project" involving colonial fantasies, bonobo subjectivities and animal care in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I have previously published peer-reviewed articles on queer kinships and transgender temporality.
