Eben Kirksey, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Oxford, is known for multispecies ethnography and research on human and nonhuman relations.
He examines how death circulates nutrients across microbial, plant, fungal and animal communities, and how modern mortuary and biomedical practices intervene in regenerative cycles. Using artworks as prompts, the talk investigates responsibility in life and death, exploring ethical, ecological and scientific tensions that reshape multispecies connections.
