Listen back to this episode to hear what has happened ever since settlers brought the brushtail possum to Aotearoa (New Zealand). Our guest is Emily Major, a PhD Candidate at Canterbury University in Christchurch. She studies how possums are violently framed as pests, persecuted and exterminated in the region.
