Earth to Philosophy is a podcast featuring philosophers working on nature and the environment. Each episode, hosts Claire Hamlett and Andrea Gammon invite a guest to discuss some of their work, usually a recent book or paper, or perhaps a side project they have going. It's an attempt to bring environmental philosophy to a wider audience, a no-budget labour of love, and an excuse for Andrea and Claire to talk with people whose work they find interesting.

Mateusz Tokarski joins us to revisit the most thrilling parts of his dissertation Wild at Home: The Ethics of Living with Discomforting Wildlife, which he defended in 2017. We talk about Val Plumwood's famous (well, in environmental philosophy circles) near-death experience with a crocodile, among other things.
Mateusz is an editor, writer, translator, and researcher. He holds a BA in Film and Theatre Studies from London Metropolitan University, a MA in semiotics (Aarhus University, Denmark/Tartu University, Estonia), and in September 2017 obtained a PhD in philosophy with a thesis on human-animal relations (Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands)
You can find Mateusz's complete dissertation, as well as other papers and presentations, on his academia page.
