Biographie:

Annalisa Colombino holds a PhD in human geography from the Open University. She now works at Ca' Foscari, University of Venice, Italy. Her research applies cultural geography to topics such as place-marketing, commodification and branding processes, the geographies of consumption, the bioeconomy and the diverse economy. Most recently, she has been working at the intersection of economic geography, animal geographies and the geographies of food adopting a more-than-human approach inspired by biopolitical thought. Her interdisciplinary research is published in Italian, English and German.

Heide K. Bruckner is a researcher and lecturer currently working in the Department of Geography at the University of Graz, Austria. In her scholarship, she focuses on the promises and challenges of alternative food systems in the Global North and South. In particular, she is drawn to embodied, visceral geographies that capture the intersection of personal experience and more-than-human political ecologies. Her diverse research projects span the globe, from the United States and Latin America, to western Europe and the South Pacific.
