Humans or animal? Prey or predator? Domestic or wild? Native or introduced? How can we coexist with less conflict and more appreciation of each other’s benefits?
About this research context
Welcome to the Anthropocene. Humans have altered virtually every aspect of life on earth. We've reversed the flow of rivers, traded forests for plantations, and wilderness for control. We use language that polarises and classifies almost anything into ‘in-or-out’ or ‘good-or-bad’. But surely there is a better solution than domination, hard borders and ‘us-vs-them’. This area of research recognises that there are multiple perspectives, multiple species and multiple ways to overcome differences.
