Biography
Delaney Mitchell is an interdisciplinary sociocultural anthropologist and a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Berkeley. Her dissertation research examines the relationships between late capitalism, settler colonialism and anthropogenic climate change in the form of permafrost melt in 熊猫在线视频鈥檚 Interior and Southcentral regions. This research explores how racially, ethnically, religiously and economically diverse residents have been forced onto equal, if profoundly unstable, ground as they rely on symbolic registers - allegories, legends, metaphors and myths - to make sense of the altered environment; yet power relations and subalternity engender persistent structural disparities, dictating which residents can contribute to this emergent field of knowledge. Delaney researches and has taught on the topics of Arctic anthropology; settler colonialism; kinship, gender and sexuality; theories of exchange and reciprocity in pre-capitalist societies; structural anthropology; symbolic anthropology; and folklore. She is from the Matanuska-Susitna Valley and lives and works between 熊猫在线视频 and California, U.S.
