On 22 February, the expert panel with Prof. Mihnea Tănăsescu and PhD researcher Carlota Houart, organised by The Earth Society, will address the topic of “Rethinking Justice and Politics in a More-than-Human World”. The experts will reflect on questions such as: Have you ever asked yourself how you relate to ‘nature’? What factors and experiences may have shaped this relationship? How does this affect your attitude towards the natural world and non-human beings? On a societal level, what are its implications?
