Danielle Celermajer
Danielle Celermajer is a Professor of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Sydney and lead of the Multispecies Justice project. Integral to her academic work is the intentional multispecies community in which she lives.
Her publications include Sins of the Nation and the Ritual of Apology (Cambridge University Press 2009) and The Prevention of Torture: An Ecological Approach (Cambridge University Press, 2018), The Cultural History of Law in the Modern Age (Bloomsbury 2019), The Subject of Human Rights (Stanford 2020), and “Justice Through a Multispecies Lens.” Through the experience of living through the black summer bushfires with a multispecies community, she began writing about a new crime of our age, Omnicide. Recognising the critical urgency of conveying the complex conceptual recognition of the multispecies harms of the climate catastrophe in ways that can provoke affect and hence action, she has written a book to reach a larger readership, Summertime (Penguin, 2021).
