Centre of Excellence for
Multibeing Justice in Indigenous Societies
MultiBEING is a consortium that brings together scholars in Sámi research, Indigenous studies and international law from the University of Lapland and the University of Helsinki. It explores how humanity, responsibility, and justice are understood and lived in Indigenous societies.
What do we do?
We develop the concept and theory of multibeing justice that advances an understanding of justice based on the Indigenous idea of being in the world as quintessentially relational and provides an opportunity to radically rethink the Western legal system.
Our research is based on Indigenous thinking and concepts, which are brought into dialogue with the fields of humanities, social sciences, legal studies, and natural sciences. The Centre brings together researchers of the Arctic region and the regions of Central Asia and Amazonia.
