These conversations are spaces to expand our perception and understanding of language, and how it impacts our relationship with ourselves and the more-than-human world. With each episode we will delve into our guest's project, research or work to reflect on their own exploration of language and how it relates to the stories and conversations we seek to generate from Volume 9: Language.

Our guest for the first episode of this series is Arran Stibbe, a Professor of Ecological Linguistics at the University of Gloucestershire and a prolific author on the subject. His research and teaching combines his academic background in both linguistics and human ecology. This conversation with Arran is a beautiful exploration on how eco-linguistics can transform the way we perceive other beings and our co-existence with them.
