Progress in human geographySummary: In this final report on animal geographies, I address species relations of power. These relations reflect the relative power held by various animal groups, as expressed in their circumstances and experiences and as mediated through human-animal dynamics. Investigating the breadth and complexity of these power dynamics is important given that we live in a multispecies world and we continue to seek avenues for de-centring ‘the human’ in theory and practice. Animal geographies offer scholarly tools through which to explore, unpack, and interrogate multispecies hierarchical networks. The result is a holistic, in-depth view of relations of power that illuminates how animal social groups are bound up with humans, as well as with other animals, in ways that produce and reproduce species-based differences and inequalities.
