Darcie DeAngelo

Darcie DeAngelo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Oklahoma. As an environmental and medical anthropologist trained in visual methods, her work engages with human-nonhuman relations such as the love between landmine detection rats and their handlers, the excitement of dogs and humans as they hunt for rats in cities, and the kinship of humans and their sourdough starters. She is currently the Annie Clark Tanner Fellow in Environmental Humanities at the University of Utah where she is writing her second book, For the Love of Rats, which explores the surprising relationships between rats and humans across time and space. Her first book is forthcoming with the University of California Press Atelier Series and focuses on landmine detection rats and their handlers in Cambodia. She also edits the journal, Visual Anthropology Review.
