Heritage research and consultation

An interdisciplinary researcher consultant examining heritage practices involving more-than-human animals.

With an background studying psychology and behavioural sciences, I currently incorporate scholarship across the heritage, anthropology and philosophy in my work, exploring the richness of methods and perspectives this approach offers. 

My research interests lie in the relationships between humans and animals and the cultural, social and political implications of co-existing in multispecies landscapes. In this context, I aim to unpick tensions between wildlife conservation, wild life; and ideas of wilderness and (N)ature.

Focussed on translating theory into practice, I am currently a doctoral candidate investigating animals' rights to their own heritage, how notions of heritage are transposed on to animals and how these constructs impact both human and more-than-human animals. This project, The Wild Nature of Heritage, aims to establish heritage practices that are mutually beneficial for both human and animals and seeks opportunities for the urgently needed radical expansion within heritage in the face of today’s poly-crises.
