Multispecies Digest
A bi-weekly Substack research-based newsletter that brings you lighthearted yet research-informed analysis of situations, projects, and life through the multispecies lens.
Each essay dissects a story, news piece, report, or piece of art through the multispecies lens. Focusing on real-life situations, it prompts us all to reflect on a variety of multispecies themes and the state of the world, including economy, design, education, and governance.
