Short bio
Elisabeth Luggauer is a cultural anthropologist working at the Department for European Ethnology, Humboldt University of Berlin. Her research emerges mostly from the intersections and frictions between ‘the urban’ and ‘the environmental’. In her PhD project (University of Graz, Austria) Elisabeth explored how humans and stray dogs inhabiting Podgorica (Montenegro) co-make the city as a multispecies everyday space. Associated with the Stadtlabor for Multimodal Anthropology and the ERC project WAVEMATTERS, Elisabeth is focusing on the exposure of multispecies entanglements to urban heat. Her current research project “The Green and the City” approaches urban assemblages from the capitalocenic dynamics of global warming, pays attention to the concepts of urban futures that heat induces or provokes, and researches how green – as entanglements of species and organisms – becomes enacted and acts in such ideas of urban cohabitation.
