Temporal lies: A decolonial account of denatured seasonal celebrations in Aotearoa New Zealand
Politics, society, order, nature, natural rhythms and the climate are changing so fast they are like quicksilver, too slippery to grasp, splintering into new shapes the moment they seem containable. This is the end state of processes begun with colonial expansion, and the lies used to excuse colonial desecration of Peoples, lands, waters, of all that abided by natural cycles and limits. The article casts a lens over one ‘insignificant’ set of lie…
Authors’ response
In his short response essay, Joshua C. Gellers (2024) offers three criticisms of the arguments we make in ‘What matter matters as a matter of justice?’ (Winter and Schlosberg 2023). While we are us

What matter matters as a matter of justice
With planet-wide environmental unravelling ideas of multispecies and planetary justice are gaining multidisciplinary attention. They frame a set of ethical, moral and political obligations to life-on-Earth. While it is clear it is humans who bear the duties and obligations of justice, who or what is the subject of justice-beyond-human varies widely: Some limit the subject to sentient animals, others include all living things. We argue for a more …
A Political Theory for a Multispecies, Climate-Challenged World: 2050
This essay is part of a special issue celebrating 50 years of Political Theory. The ambition of the editors was to mark this half century not with a retrospective but with a confabulation of futures. Contributors were asked: What will political theory look and sound like in the next century and beyond? What claims might political theorists or their descendants be making in ten, twenty-five, fifty, a hundred years’ time? How might they vindicate t…
Unearthing the Time/Space/Matter of Multispecies Justice
Multispecies justice is a developing field—or perhaps more accurately, a set of fields. It draws together a range of academic disciplines to examine human and nonhuman relationships. These include relationships of respect, responsibility, and, to some, reciprocity. The extent of those relationships and the range of species, forms, and being to be included, however, remains indistinct and variable. Whereas within traditional theories of justice co…
Disaster? No surprise
I argue environmental disasters are an inevitable outcome of the underdevelopment of Western philosophy. Human induced environmental disasters are unfortunate, an unintended consequence of focusing on economic maximization in a culture without comprehensive, clearly accepted, and operationalized frameworks for environmental and intergenerational justice. However, they are of no surprise to Indigenous Peoples relegated to margins of political infl…
Introduction: What's the value of multispecies justice
Justice is commonly thought (within European-based thought at least) to be the preserve of humans, and critical scholarship and advocacy has sought to ensure all humans are subjects of justice. But some scholars and activists argue that harms inflicted on animals and the environment can also be seen not simply as alarming or ‘inhumane’ but as injustices (see the comprehensive review of multispecies justice in Environmental Politics). Prompted by …
Between Ecology and Indigeneity: Intersections of Earth, Country and Power
We live at a time of unprecedented ecological and socio-political crisis—climate change, pandemic, extinction, inequality, and repression—yet everywhere it is underpinned by the dispossession of Indigenous peoples and the persistent refusal of Indigenous authority and sovereignty. Bringing together concerns about bio- and necropolitics, habitat destruction and animal cruelty, corporate-colonial modes of conservation, whitened food systems, and se…
Multispecies justice: Theories, challenges, and a research agenda for environmental politics
This essay seeks to open a conversation about multispecies justice in environmental politics. It sets out some of the theoretical approaches, key areas of exploration, and obvious challenges that come with rethinking a core plank of liberal theory and politics. First, we discuss some of the diverse scholarly fields that have influenced the emergence of multispecies justice. We then discuss core concerns at the centre of this reconfiguration of ju…
Subjects of Intergenerational Justice: Indigenous Philosophy, the Environment and Relationships
"This book challenges mainstream Western IEJ (intergenerational environmental justice) in a manner that privileges indigenous philosophies and highlights the value these philosophies have for solving global environmental problems. Divided into three parts, the book begins by examining the framing of Western liberal environmental, intergenerational and indigenous justice theory and reviews decolonial theory. Using contemporary case studies drawn f…
A Seat At The Table: Te Awa Tupua, Te Urewera, Taranaki Maunga and Political Representation
Aotearoa New Zealand acknowledges mātauranga Māori in the two Acts and one Memorandum of Understanding recognising the ‘personhood’ status of three geographical regions—Te Awa Tupua, Te Urewera and Taranaki Maunga. They blend the legal fiction of corporate personhood with the already always understanding of human-nonhuman kinship and entanglement of M!ori philosophy, Māori knowledge and wisdom, and Māori epistemology. Through kaitiaki (trustees) …

Multispecies justice: Climate‐just futures with, for and beyond humans
In 2019, the climate emergency entered mainstream debates. The normative frame of climate justice as conceived in academia, policy arenas, and grassroots action, although imperative and growing in popularity across climate movements, is no longer adequate to address this emergency. This is for two reasons: first, as a framing for the problem, current notions of climate justice are insufficient to overcome the persistent silencing of voices belong…
Does time colonise intergenerational environmental justice theory
The idea of time is critical to intergenerational environmental justice (IEJ). Focusing on time as discrete instantiations on a forward projection limits the capacity of IEJ to theorise justice for future generations. Framed by this understanding of time, IEJ then excludes peoples for whom time is spirally bound and for whom nonhuman and human are entangled within the spheres of justice. In a contribution towards decolonising IEJ theory, drawing …
Enframing geography: Subject, curriculum, knowledge, responsibility
The word ‘geo-graphy’ means ‘writing the earth’. The subject of geography bears responsibility for engaging, constituting and configuring world knowledge, in other words, what the world is. This paper describes an enquiry into the nature of school geographical knowledge at a time of curriculum policy reform. In 2010, the newly appointed Coalition government in Britain introduced the concept of core knowledge for the school curriculum. Some of the…
