Alyssa Mendez is a PhD candidate in Anthropology at the University of Chicago. She holds an International Master’s in South European Studies from the University of Glasgow and the University of Athens and a Bachelor’s in Anthropology with a concentration in Modern Greek Studies from Columbia University. Her dissertation project, “Wind Resistance: Contesting Post-Carbon Futures in Post-Crisis Greece”, centers on the construction of industrial ‘renewable’ energy infrastructures in a biodiverse, mountainous region in central Greece. Through multi-sited ethnographic research, she investigates these popular techno-scientific climate ‘fixes’ as drivers of spatial transformation in Greek mountains and attends to the grassroots resistance struggle through which diverse actors manifest their common will to redefine the energy question and reclaim the spaces they inhabit and value.
