Antonella Mazzone

I am a social scientist working at the intersection of climate, health, and social justice. My research asks how people experience, interpret, and adapt to environmental conditions, particularly thermal and atmospheric experiences, and how these responses are shaped by culture, gender, race, housing, and inequality. I am committed to research that centres the voices and knowledge of communities that have been systematically excluded from dominant scientific and policy frameworks, and to methods that are collaborative, arts-informed, and non-extractive.

My work has taken me from the Brazilian Amazon to Rio de Janeiro, from energy poverty to thermal justice, and from Indigenous cosmologies of energy to the lived experiences of trans women navigating extreme heat. I have published in Nature Energy, Nature Sustainability, Social Science and Medicine, and Local Environment, among others, and my research has been recognised through a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship.
