The MOTH Ideas Hub disseminates promising and generative more-than-human ideas within and across disciplines, working as a catalyst for action and source of inspiration.

Through the Ideas Hub, the MOTH Program publishes interdisciplinary short-form, research-grounded articles and multimedia featuring ideas that explore the legal, philosophical, scientific, and cultural paradigms reshaping how we think about nonhuman life and our interconnected world. We also invite submissions in different formats – for example, pictures, videos, animations, multimedia, and more.
