JUST TOUR Seminar Series: Unsettling the Human: More-than-human Provocations for Justice in Tourism
This seminar explored how more-than-human framings allow us to challenge the centrality of humans in justice discourse and tune into the complex relationship between humans and non-humans. We discussed various theoretical underpinnings that serve to unsettle justice discourse (e.g. posthumanism, new materialism and theories of affect), as well as the methodological complexities in attending to more-than-human framings in just ways. Speakers highlighted how such framings allow an unsettling of justice discourse, with the impetus to advocate for cross-species justice and the rights of non-humans in the spaces and places of tourism.
