Rebecca 'Willow' Anne Hutton is a PhD candidate in Anthropology at Deakin University, and Senior Research Assistant at the multidisciplinary Centre for Social Impact at Swinburne University of Technology. She completed an undergraduate majoring in Criminology, an has since contributed as an RA to projects spanning migration studies, social policy, social movements and the environmental humanities. Her PhD project looks at mutual aid in the COVID-19 pandemic, using an economic anthropology lens to ask what the recent outpouring of autonomous solidarity networks (in the vein of 'everyday anarchism') can tell us about the nature of crisis, labour, reciprocity, and economic relations outside the market economy.
