How are posthumanism and sustainability linked? How has literature evolved in the last decade? The Posthumanism for Sustainability (PH4S) project addresses these questions by mapping posthumanist approaches to sustainability and maintaining a digital repository enabling future research efforts. This talk will discuss the results of the scoping review as the first peer- reviewed publication of this project and explain the aims and submission procedure of the repository.
