Biography
I am a human rights and environmental justice lawyer working with diverse communities, lawyers and allies around the world to evolve the purpose, content and practice of law, with the aim of collapsing the sense of separation between humans and the more-than-human world and to foster transformative change across disciplines and generations.
In 2020, I founded the Anima Mundi Law Initiative as a space to envision 'a new legal story in an ecological age' and to take measures to align the law with planetary realities, including: amplifying the growing rights of nature movement, strategic litigation and interventions to address structural socio-economic challenges, and the grounding of legal and advocacy practice within place and community.
During my Fellowship, I will visit New Zealand and Australia to explore how rights of nature laws and principles are being implemented in practice, as part of a longer-term enquiry into how 'speaking Nature's voices into law' can influence human rights and other legal frameworks.
