Olivia (she/they) is a scholar of ecofemist theory and environmental feminisms with a particular interest in how the violation of animal/human boundaries animates monstrous imagery throughout history and across cultures. She has endeavored to understand how retellings of Western European witch trials have been transformed into consumable aesthetics and media. Most recently, she is interested in researching how communities with differing ideologies are collectively abandoning urbanity in favor of rural regions. In their free time, you can find them painting, making jewelry, or training dogs!
