The Animal TurnAuthor: Claudia Hirtenfelder
Animals are increasingly at the forefront of research questions Not as shadows to human stories, or as beings we want to understand biologically, or for purely our benefit but as beings who have histories, stories, and geographies of their own. Each season is set around themes with each episode unpacking a particular animal turn concept and its significance therein. Join Claudia Hirtenfelder as she delves into some of the most important ideas emerging out of this recent turn in scholarship, thinking, and being.
