Can granting legal rights to nature stop corporate environmental destruction, and what does it actually mean to be a \"good\" football club owner? 


This episode of Doctoral Dialogues dives into the intersection of law, ethics, and accountability with Department of Law researchers Marie-France Nguo and Mark O’Neill. Marie-France details her final-year research into the rights of nature in the Democratic Republic of Congo, drawing on the philosophy of Ubuntu to argue for corporate models that protect ecosystems rather than just human interests. Mark, a part-time researcher, traces the history of football club ownership from the 19th century to the modern day, exploring how regulatory frameworks align - or clash - with the values and expectations of local fans.
