Interessi di ricerca

Lorenzo D'Angelo is a socio-cultural anthropologist with interests in natural resources and extractive industries, environmental and economic anthropology. He has conducted historical and ethnographic research on the economic, cultural and religious aspects of artisanal mining in Sierra Leone and Uganda. In 2014 he co-founded the EASA Anthropology of Mining network.

Since 2017, Lorenzo D'Angelo has also been conducting field research in Tanzania. In this country, he has focused on agro-pastoral systems and climate change in Maasai communities. In 2024 he founded the Laboratory of Anthropology of Social Change in Tanzania (Lab-Tanzania), officially recognised by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. The Laboratory aims to study the issues of climate and social change, agro-food systems, sustainability and biodiversity, and how they affect Tanzanian society and its people.
