Eleonora Natale

Dr Eleonora Natale is a Lecturer in Environmental Security at the Department of War Studies, King’s College London. An expert on the militarisation of Latin American politics, her research focuses on the environmental, defence, and civil-military relations dimensions of this phenomenon. Dr Natale has conducted extensive ethnographic research in Argentina and Brazil, and she is currently exploring the military’s role in public and environmental policy, particularly in the Amazon region.

Dr Natale was a Visiting Researcher at both the Brazilian Army Command and General Staff College (2023) and the Superior War College (2022) in Rio de Janeiro. Her doctoral research, completed at Keele University, explored the experiences of military families during Argentina’s last dictatorship (1976–83), focusing on their involvement in political violence and transitional justice. Prior to joining King’s College London, she held a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Universidad Nacional de San Martín in Buenos Aires, where she investigated Argentina’s involvement in the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas War.
