 Human Rights Law

DESCRIPTION:Critical multispecies studies reveal that the philosophical\,
  social\, and legal pedestal on which human subjects are placed within W
 estern modernity rests on faulty foundations. This session offers a post
 humanist deconstruction of the human (we are animals\, our bodies contai
 n multitudes of life-forms\, we exist within and not apart from nature) 
 to explore what happens\, conceptually and pragmatically\, to internatio
 nal human rights law in the face of rights of nature\, animal rights\, a
 nd evolving multispecies forms of legal subjectivity.\n\nDr Iyan Offor i
 s an Assistant Professor in Environmental Law at the University of Birmi
 ngham and the founding leader of the Multispecies Collective (which rese
 arches change toward flourishing futures for animals\, nature\, and soci
 ety). Iyan is a critical socio-legal theorist conducting interdisciplina
 ry research on multispecies legalities. His active research projects are
  Solarpunk Narrative and Multispecies (Legal) Worlding\, and Transqueer 
 Ecological Justice. Iyan recently published his monograph Global Animal 
 Law from the Margins (Routledge\, 2024). Iyan is co-editor in chief for 
 the Journal of International Wildlife Law & Policy and academic consulta
 nt for the UK Centre for Animal Law.\n\nRegistration is required. Please
  email emma.scali@manchester.ac.uk.\n\nAll are warmly welcome. We very m
 uch hope you can join us for what promises to be an engaging and thought
 -provoking event.
