Research topic: Multi-species justice: exploring the development and application of a transformative concept.
The concept of multi-species justice (MSJ) reimagines how justice is conceived and adjudicated between humans and non-humans. This is through promoting holistic perspectives that consider the rights of all entities on an equal footing. Despite progress defining its principles, its practical application remains a major research frontier. Applying MSJ is only possible by addressing questions about how non-humans exert agency in human-orchestrated justice debates. Therefore, this project aims to develop the concept of MSJ through creative techniques that incorporate multi-species agencies, understand spatial, temporal and geographical interactions between humans and non-humans, and dissect how human-non-human relations are framed and enacted.
