Summary

This month I share with you my conversation with Rebecca Tamás, as we discuss Rebecca’s essay collection, Strangers: Essays on the Human and Nonhuman.

In this episode, we discuss what it means to be intimate and hospitable towards the non-human world. How might we confront our fears and prejudices towards the more-than-human world and embrace a more capacious, interspecies sense of belonging? How do we unlearn our privileging of the human species at the expense of other species flourishing and their biodiversity loss? How does eco-grief shape our sense of home and belonging?
