It contributes to an ongoing conversation hosted by 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Facul ty of Law on legal personhood\, and to a broader conversation about the et hics of global governance. I first describe how ‘animal personhood’ is rel evant to a discussion about legal personhood in general. I then look at th e current jurisprudence on the granting of personhood to non-human entitie s and animals\, explaining the tensions this produces for law more general ly. The final part of my talk reflects on the ‘ontological turn’ in human- animal studies in recent years\, including the temptation to transpose thi s approach to the courtroom. In my conclusion\, I will suggest an alternat ive – perhaps radical – way forward in our ongoing efforts to make global governance fit for purpose.\n\nYoriko Otomo is a Research Associate at SOA S\, University of London\, where she was a Senior Lecturer for a number of years before becoming Director of the Global Research Network and Think T ank\, an organisation that promotes collaboration and knowledge transfer b etween North-South academics.
