Overview
Socio-environmental crises are currently transforming the conditions for life on this planet, from climate change, to resource depletion, biodiversity loss and long-term pollutants. The vast scale of these changes, affecting land, sea and air have prompted calls for the ‘ecologicalisation’ of knowledge. This book adopts a much needed ‘more-than-human’ framework to grasp these complexities and challenges. It contains multidisciplinary insights and diverse methodological approaches to question how to revise, reshape and invent methods in order to work with non-humans in participatory ways. The book offers a framework for thinking critically about the promises and potentialities of participation from within a more-than-human paradigm, and opens up trajectories for its future development. It will be of interest to those working in the environmental humanities, animal studies, science and technology studies, ecology, and anthropology.

Reviews
...Valuable insights for researchers in the social sciences, biological sciences, or humanities which may benefit from the experimental and decentering work collected in this book even if the reader engages with the more-than-human world only at a tangential level in their own research... With its wide range of perspectives and its conversely tight dialogical structure drawing largely from participants in shared workshops and panels, this edited collection offers a range of intersecting provocations about the potential for MtH-PR. It operates as an important intervention that will be useful, or at least de-centering, for social scientists and humanities scholars, particularly those working in environmental or STS disciplines.
