The "Biosocial - So What?" series seeks to challenge traditional boundaries between biological and social sciences, exploring the complex entanglements between microscopic life/particles and human/animal living conditions. We aim to critically examine the concept of 'environment' and further develop biosocial theory and understanding across barriers of organisms and species.
Key themes we hope to address include:
1. Theoretical and methodological interventions for studying environment-organism relations
2. Implications of the 'organism multiple' for concepts of species and multi-species ethnography
3. Rethinking porous relations transcending the classical separations of the biological and social domains
4. Challenges and opportunities in studying biosocial phenomena in the Anthropocene
