Research Interests

The PostHumanism lab carries out social scientific investigations of the relationships between humans and non-humans, drawing upon various theoretical perspectives such as Actor Network Theory, Risk Society, and Systems Theory. The ways that humans define their relationships to nonhuman animals are studied in order to reveal how humans structure their relationships toward nature and ecological systems. Research includes investigations of human-wildlife conflict as a 'wicked problem,' environmental governance and the wildlife trade, captivity and liberation of animals, and the commodification of nature as a public spectacle.
