Luca BarisonBorn and raised in a small village between Venice and Padua, Luca Barison got both his BA and MA at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, where he was trained as a medievalist. He devoted both his theses to Anglo-Norman history, and in the last one he has explored the environmental impact of William the Conqueror’s conquest of 1066 on the English landscape, using a broad set of interdisciplinary studies, such as palynology and isotope investigations. He published a book on the medieval history of his native village, tracing its past back to 1073. Between 2023 and 2024 he was awarded with a fellowship at the Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Storici of Naples, where he studied the Norman forest management in England and Southern Italy through narrative sources and palynology. He joined the PhD program in 2024. Passionate about sustainability and Lego bricks, Luca also enjoys walking in DC’s parks and along the George Washington Waterfront.
