Animals in the Room: A presentation with Melanie Challenger
Writer and ethicist Melanie Challenger speaks to the framework of kinship and compassion that underpins Animals in the Room—a project exploring how animals can participate and be represented in the environmental and political decisions that affect them.
Melanie Challenger works as a researcher and broadcaster across environmental history, bioethics, and philosophy of biology. Her books include How to Be Animal: What It Means to Be Human; Animal Dignity: Philosophical Reflections on Nonhuman Existence; and On Extinction: How We Became Estranged from Nature, which received Santa Barbara Library’s Green Award for environmental writing. She hosts the podcast Enter the Psychosphere, on diverse intelligences in the natural world.
This presentation is part of the special weekend event series held within Emergence Magazine’s SHIFTING LANDSCAPES immersive exhibition.
Time: 14:00 GMT
