Luci is an Associate professor in Anthropology at the University of Wales and is the Dept. Executive Director of the UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES programme - an arts and humanities led, transdiscplinary, sustainability science global coalition nested within the human and social science sector of UNESCO. 

She was awarded a United Nations Gold Star for work achieved with students and a group of Giriama farmers suffering from the deepening drought caused by the climate changing in rural Kenya and won the first EAUC International Green Gown Award for teaching that furnishes graduates with skills to respond to rapidly changing conditions.

Luci currently edits an interdisciplinary series that employs a New Materialities perspective to rethink the world with University of Wales Press. Her work challenges human exceptionalism by exploring how substances - particularly water - actively shapes knowing, bodies and practice. She is co-creating a project called Múnekañ Masha: Revitalising Water in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta with the Kogui and the Tairona Heritage Trust.
