Professional Interests
Natasha Magnani is a sociocultural anthropologist who examines the underlying mechanisms of social change—the ways that people seek to transform themselves and society through embodied and material practice. She studies resurgences of
production—from the recreation of craft objects, local food ways, and their ecological
relations, to large-scale infrastructural revivals, all of which become entangled with
wider cultural and environmental movements, climate change, and geopolitics. Collaborative projects are ongoing with craft artisans and artists in the Indigenous homelands of Sápmi in Fennoscandia and postcolonial Cyprus. She leads a Norwegian Research Council project on the anticipation of melting Arctic sea routes and large-scale infrastructures in Sápmi and across the circumpolar North.
