Transindividual grief after death of an animal companion

Tampere University
Duration of project1.8.2025–31.7.2029
Area of focusSociety

This study explores grief following the death of an animal companion through human–nonhuman relations. Drawing on the concept of the transindividual, it examines grief as a collective and relational process within more‑than‑human communities. The study challenges individualistic and human‑centred understandings of grief and offers new conceptual tools for both research and professional practice.
