Philosophical exploration of the ways animals communicate. Researchers are discovering that animals have rich and complex languages with grammatical and structural rules that allow them to strategise, share advice, give warnings, show love and gossip amongst themselves. Eva Meijer is an artist, writer, philosopher and singer-songwriter. Her philosophical work mostly focuses on language and social justice. Her PhD thesis in philosophy was titled 'Political Animal Voices' (University of Amsterdam).. She works as a postdoctoral researcher in a project about nonhuman animal agency in the Anthropocene at the University of Wageningen (NL).
