PhD in Anthropology, London School of Economics and Political Science
Kari Dahlgren recently completed her PhD in Anthropology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her work is situated at the intersection of economic and environmental anthropology, with a particular interest in the anthropology of extractive industry, climate change, and transition. Her doctoral thesis draws on fieldwork in two Australian coal mining towns, focusing on the livelihoods entangled with the industry. In the context of increasing questions about the future of the coal industry, Kari’s research speaks to the possibilities and limitations coal communities face in imagining and crafting their futures, and the moral and ethical implications of change.
