Philosophy in the Wild – Finding Hope in Mixed Communities, is a global Women In Parenthesis public philosophy project which builds on the success of Notes from a Biscuit Tin. Philosophy in the Wild is curated by philosopher-poet Mara-Daria Cojocaru.
Between April 2025 and April 2026, an anthrozoological vasculum, symbolising Midgley’s biscuit tin, will collect field notes and multispecies poetry from 13 global sites.
