Event Description

How does recognizing the fundamental entanglements of humans and the more-than-human world impact notions of "justice"? Drawing on perceptions from diverse communities, disciplines, and social, political, and historical contexts, this symposium will provide a space for us to grapple with the question: What might a more just world or worlds look like in the 21st century?

Alex Blanchette and Daina Bray join an interdisciplinary group of scholars for an extended conversation about multi-species justice.
