Bio
Zachary is a PhD candidate in History, Anthropology, & STS (HASTS) at MIT. His research concerns the enduring coincidence of geopolitical, environmental, and demographic change in southern Italy and the Europeanization of Italian agriculture since the 1960s. This work has been supported by MIT’s John Lyons and Kenan Sahin Fellowships; MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI-Italy); and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research. In addition to his work at MIT, Zachary is an affiliate of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University.
