hi! I’m maythe.
Maythe (rhymes with bathe) Han is an anthrozoologist of more-than-human kinship. Her PhD (University of Edinburgh, ’22) explored multispecies entanglements between dogs and their humans in Edinburgh and on the internet, addressing how nonhuman beings both actively and passively figure in the production and proliferation of complex concepts and experiences, such as race and racism, childhood and parenthood, and belonging and loneliness.
Her research and art both speak to the broad question of ‘how can we live a good life together?’, making explicit why more-than-human kinship matters. Deliberately taking the phrase ‘words cannot express…’ very literally, she is invested in normalising multimodal ethnography through music, illustrations, and textile art in both academic and applied anthropology.
She is available for lectures and workshops, educational and curricular consulting, media appearances, freelance writing, bespoke illustration commissions, and jazz piano gigs.
