The OpenSpace Research Centre's grouping in this area explores what difference it might make - theoretically, empirically, ethically and politically - to take seriously the nonhuman dimensions of the practices and matters of concern at the heart of the social, and what this in turn might imply for our understandings of space and power. In attempting to think through these and related challenges, inspiration is taken from a wide range of sources including science and technology studies, anthropology, feminisms, philosophy, political theory, postcolonial studies, post-structuralism, and environmental studies as well as geography, and engaged empirically with topics including biosecurity, food, animalities, museums, consumption and disposal, earth processes, disasters, economies and finance, and others.
