Elizabeth Oriel is an environmental social scientist, with a MS in conservation biology and a PhD in Global Studies (2022, University of London). Her research covers human-wildlife conflict, concepts of non-human animal wellbeing, and the ways plants shape human-other animal relations. Her current projects examine how the news media covers jacaranda trees’ blooming cycles in Australia, how they cover changing bird migrations, and also the potentialities of a more relational language in media for covering extinction events. She is writing a monograph called How Plants Map the Land with Lexington Books.
