About Atalia Israeli-Nevo
I'm an anthropology PhD candidate at the University of Texas at Austin. My explores how animal labor unfolds and manifests within queer fantasies; specifically, I observe the work of small-scale queer farmers in the German rural east, and examine how labor, intimacy and violence manifest in their relations with their nonhuman animals, taking into account urban and rural queerness, post-socialist gendered landscapes and how this all relates to ideas of utopia and the Anthropocene. 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.Atalia Israeli-Nevo (she/her) is an anthropology PhD candidate at the University of Texas at Austin. Her dissertation research in rural Germany explores queer fantasies and animal labor.
