Abstract

More-than-human geographies (MTHG) maps and examines the entangled relations between humans and nonhumans in the coproduction of space. Rooted in posthumanist and new materialist thought, this subfield of geography disrupts disciplinary boundaries and dualistic and anthropocentric thinking by advocating for a relational ontology that recognizes nonhuman agency and political subjectivity. This chapter reviews MTHG’s core principles and methodological innovations, highlighting its intersections with political and feminist geography. Addressing critiques on conceptual expansiveness, empirical applicability, and ethical dilemmas, the chapter brings attention to emerging areas of inquiry and outlines a research agenda for feminist political geographers engaging with more-than-human perspectives. By centering multispecies entanglements, MTHG expands political geography’s scope and reimagines possibilities amid planetary crises.
