More-Than-Human Worlding: Analysis and Exploration of Farm Animal Sanctuaries, World-Building and Speculative Design.
Madi engages with ethnographic inquiry and narrative design research to understand the farm animal sanctuary movement. She conducts interviews, fieldwork and visual design methods to situate her knowledge of farm animal sanctuaries within the Aotearoa context.
A reading of fantasy and speculative fiction provides insight and inspiration into the different ways we can be in the world with the nonhuman ‘other’. The PhD research explores speculative narrative about the worlds we share with nonhuman animals to not just understand multispecies relations but to also imagine new or alternative ones.
