๐โจ Last week at the #AEDEAN48 Conference (@aedeaninfo.bsky.social) our team members took part in a roundtable discussion titled โScreening the More-than-Humanโ, which explored how audiovisual fictions can undo the hegemonic, human-centred ways of seeing.

๐ฃ Every Friday we will be posting publications from our project members in case you might be interested in some academic reads.
