Who speaks for future generations, and does anyone listen? Political Scientist & AIAS Fellow Darren Halpin from The Australian National University explains why he is studying how interest groups in Australia and Denmark claim to speak for people who cannot yet vote, or have not yet been born. “There is much focus on formal institutions that act on behalf of future generations, such as Wales’s Future Generations Commissioner or Finland’s Committee for the Future. However, in my research, I focus on the many actors who simply go ahead and speak for the future without being asked: who they are, what they say, whether they are doing it well, and whether politicians are listening".

What is Cultural Biology, and why does it matter? Cultural Biologist & AIAS-AUFF Fellow Malene Friis Hansen explains why she and collaborators are working to define the theory and methods for Cultural Biology, a novel transdisciplinary field of study. “There is much focus on conflicts between animals and humans, as human populations and landscapes expand, however, within Cultural Biology, we focus on everything that humans and other animals create together to sustainably coexist, such as behaviours, niches and cultures."
