Lachlan is a PhD candidate based at the University of Greenwich, as part of the UK Food Systems Centre for Doctoral Training. His research explores the practices and politics of governing overpopulated/invasive nonhuman animals. To do so, he is examining the changing nature of human-deer relations in southern England; focusing on how deer management and the social life of venison are being (re-)orchestrated through strategic material-semiotic interventions into the legibility, killability, and edibility of deer. He is also interested in the potential of speculative, embodied, and arts-based methods for thinking-feeling overpopulation and invasiveness otherwise.
