Joshua Sterlin is a doctoral candidate at McGill University. His thesis focuses on the community surrounding a "wilderness" school in Washington state, and the methods, both cultural and ecosemiotic, by which they weave themselves into the wider community of life, and by so doing attempt to "rewild" themselves. A concurrent thread of his research examines how more-than-human anthropology can inform the transformation in ecological legal thinking that is required to encounter the confluence of crises it seeks to redress.
