Lecture summary: This lecture contrasts the dominant Western human rights imaginary (as a product of a juridical imaginary of the Anthropocene') with an alternative imaginary reaching towards 'human rights for the Anthropocene'. Playing with core contrasts between these two imaginaries, the lecture explores what thinking with such contrasts might mean for a re-imagination of human rights in an age of deepening planetary precarity.

Anna Grear is Professor of Law and Theory in the Cardiff University School of Law and Politics. She started her intellectual journey in academia as a critical human rights theorist before moving her focus to explore the relationship between human beings and 'the environment'. Anna is increasingly drawn to New Materialist insights concerning the significance of the more-than-human for thinking about future-facing world-making, including in and through law.
