Responsibility is not only about humans

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterScientificpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter develops the argument for viewing responsibility as a relational concept and construct based on humans’ reciprocal relations to the nonhuman world and as an ability to respond and stay attuned to the world beyond ourselves. Drawing on Indigenous and feminist notions of responsibility as an outcome of relational and reciprocal engagements, the chapter argues that responsible organising for a living earth depends on the interdependent reciprocal relations that people together with nonhuman actors hold towards each other while sustaining the wider web of life on our common planet.
