Secondly, we have two events this week - which tie into two of the disciplines we're aiming to bring into (likely complicated!) conversation as the project evolves. For STSers we've got a stream (1st thing Thurs & Fri C-7, 3.09) at this year's @easst.bsky.social conference: easst.net/conference/e...

My term as Secretary for the AGWG is up! Really proud to see how this group has grown and flourished in the 3 years since Katie Oliver, Jamie Arathoon and I co-founded the group. Time for some fresh ideas and voices to join :) We are looking for a new Chair, secretary and ECR rep (UK based)

I'm super happy to see this SI on Transnational Plant Studies out; I can't speak highly enough of Sushmita and Banu as editors and their introduction is such a valuable provocation - a must-read for anyone interested in the plant turn, plant studies, and/or the environmental humanities more broadly!

New Wellcome-funded project to examine humans' relationships with animals
'Multispecies Mutualisms’ has been awarded a Wellcome Trust grant of £1.6 million.

Eva Haifa Giraud @evahaifa.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
And would be very happy for our own assumptions to be overturned, as well as engaging in collective discussions about whether theories that many of us are invested in (but potentially also ambivalent about) are doing the politico-ethical work that they need to!

Eva Haifa Giraud @evahaifa.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
'In offering this focus, our aim is to provoke dialogue about how multispecies mutualisms are enacted in the present and what they could be in the future.' In other words - we are super keen to have discussions about what mutualism might really mean in the context of more-than-human relations.
120
Eva Haifa Giraud @evahaifa.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
'How might this orientation change the conclusions that are drawn, or the theoretical frameworks that are utilised in STS for conceiving of more-than-human ethics and politics?'
121
Eva Haifa Giraud @evahaifa.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
We're especially interested in papers that intervene in discussions about how 'healthy' human-animal relationships are conceptualised; as we say in the CFP: 'What happens if questions of risk, harm, or exclusion are treated as the starting- point of analysis, rather than a closing acknowledgement?'
