Daniel Allen and I are organising an @rgsibg.bsky.social conference (hybrid) session on legal animal geographies.
We invite papers that not only highlight current multispecies injustice, but seek to challenge, resist, and contest these systems to create more just multispecies worlds and futures.

Myself & many colleagues are facing this at Sheffield Uni - double punishment for strike action. In the midst of this, yesterday many departments got an email announcing imminent structural reviews (ie redundancies). @sheffielducu.bsky.social
The University of Sheffield has stopped paying staff.
Not for striking but for refusing to work unpaid to make up for strike days they were already docked for.
This is punishment, not negotiation. And itβs completely reckless.

There are no geographical requirements of your teaching having to have been in the UK.
I take animal Geographies as broadly conceived rather than any narrow conception. (E.g., your teaching ould be on animals and society or specifically on conservation).
