Dinesh and Tristan will reflect on the philosophical problem of how an object or relation becomes 'commodified' and consider what this means for understanding contemporary human animal relations. This dialogue will mark the occasion of the soft cover release of Dinesh's book, Animals and Capital (Edinburgh UP 2023). </font></p><p class="gmail-p1" style="margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-kerning:auto;font-feature-settings:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:13px;line-height:normal"><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000"> </font></p><p class="gmail-p1" style="margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-kerning:auto;font-feature-settings:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:13px;line-height:normal"><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000" style=""><b>Bios: </b></font></p><p class="gmail-p1" style="margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-kerning:auto;font-feature-settings:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:13px;line-height:normal"><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000">Dinesh Wadiwel is Associate Professor in human rights and socio-legal studies at University of Sydney.
