Harles

Lynn Harles advocates the potentials of Design Research for Climate Action in a more than human world, while rethinking Natural History Museums as Innovation Labs through Design Research. Within the realm of Responsible Research and Innovation for socio-ecological challenges, she is currently pushing the boundaries of a human-centered understanding of public engagement, while developing a methodological framework of Multispecies Engagement. Derived from the theoretical foundations of Multispecies Studies at the intersection of anthropology and environmental studies, she explores the practical potentials of Multispecies Design to discuss legal rights for nature in urban habitats.
