What would it mean to include non-human animals in political decision-making? This SPUI25 event explores emerging ideas about animal representation, citizenship and deliberation within political theory. Dinesh Wadiwel and Eva Meijer will discuss the possibilities, challenges and limitations of multispecies politics, examining how traditional democratic institutions and concepts of the state can be rethought from the perspective of animals. The programme also features a contribution by Carolina Trujillo and is moderated by Yolande Jansen. The discussion addresses broader questions about coexistence, political inclusion and the future of democratic governance beyond the human realm.
