Greca Nathascia Meloni, M. A.
I am a Doc-fellow of the Austrian Academy of Science and a passionate researcher. In my project, I use a multimodal approach, which includes visual ethnography, to explore the naturalistic practices and knowledge connected to the practice of beekeeping in Sardinia (Italy). On the issues of biodiversity protection and environmental resource management and beekeeping I produced the short movies Abieris and Abis. Beyond a drop of Honey (2018) and S’acuamebi de Verina Olla (2018).
Currently I collaborate with the Progetto Hostel to include visual ethnography techniques in the learning process of high school students.
