Wilma Jovell

Wilma is a praedoc university assistant at the Department for Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Vienna. Her doctoral project explores how the state enacts, withdraws, and negotiates care through the governance of public green spaces. Her research contributes to debates on care and state transformation by treating the management of public space and nature as a political and moral care practice. She has been studying social anthropology, philosophy, creative writing, and documentary filmmaking in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Vienna, and received her MA in social anthropology from Stockholm University in 2025. Her research interests include urban anthropology, political ecology, sensory methods, and the moral and affective dimensions of care and the state.
