Event description

Join us for our September “Kinship” Webinar, when we are joined by Danielle Celermajer and Christine Winter, who will share insights into 'multi-species justice'.

Our Webinar Series: “Kinship: exploring human-nature connections” features speakers from around Australia and around the world, who share their insights into how they connect with and celebrate ‘nature’. Human beings are (of course) part of nature, but by reflecting on the cultural, bioregional, linguistic and practical ways that humans engage with, celebrate and care for ‘nature’, we can enrich our understanding of what it means to be part of the Earth community.

ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS - 17 SEPTEMBER

DANIELLE CELERJAMER

Dany Celermajer is Deputy Director of the Sydney Environment Institute and lead of the Multispecies Justice project at the University of Sydney. Over the last decade, she has turned her attention from uniquely intra-human injustice to injustices against the more-than-human. Through the experience of living through the black summer bushfires as part of a multispecies community, she began writing about a crime of our age, Omnicide. Her book, Summertime; Reflections on a Vanishing Future (Penguin 2021) was written in recognition of the urgency of conveying the multispecies harms of the climate catastrophe. Her latest book, is Institutionalizing Multispecies Justice, Cambridge University Press, 2025.

CHRISTINE WINTER

Dr Christine Winter (Ngati Kahungunu ki te Wairoa, Pākehā) is a senior lecturer in environmental and Indigenous politics in the Politics Programme, University of Otago. She looks at ways theories of justice perpetuate injustice for some people (specifically Māori) and Earth others, focusing on critical theories of environmental, intergenerational, multispecies and planetary justice
