From 2020, Birch was the [[principle investigator]] for the five-year Foundations of Animal Sentience (ASENT) research project at LSE, which was funded by the [[European Research Council]]. Responding to controversies around the nature and attribution of [[animal sentience]], the project seeks to develop "a conceptual framework for thinking about sentience as an evolved phenomenon that varies along several dimensions, a deeper understanding of how these dimensions of sentience relate to measurable aspects of animal behaviour and the nervous system, and a richer picture of the links between sentience, welfare and the ethical status of animals".<ref name="ASENT"/>

In 2024, Birch, along with [[Jeff Sebo]] and [[Kristin Andrews]], launched the New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness.<ref>https://www.quantamagazine.org/insects-and-other-animals-have-consciousness-experts-declare-20240419/</ref> The declaration affirms that "there is strong scientific support for attributions of conscious experience to other mammals and to birds"; that "the empirical evidence indicates at least a realistic possibility of conscious experience in all vertebrates (including reptiles, amphibians, and fishes) and many invertebrates (including, at minimum, cephalopod mollusks, decapod crustaceans, and insects)", and that "when there is a realistic possibility of conscious experience in an animal, it is irresponsible to ignore that possibility in decisions affecting that animal".<ref>https://sites.google.com/nyu.edu/nydeclaration/declaration</ref>

Birch's 2021 Review of the Evidence of Sentience in Cephalopod Molluscs and Decapod Crustaceans

Jonathan Birch is a British philosopher who is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His work addresses the philosophy of biology, especially questions around the evolution of social behaviour and social norms, animal sentience, and animal welfare.[1]

Career

Birch read for a BA (Hons) in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge from 2005 to 2008, and then an MPhil in History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge from 2008 to 2009.[2] He read for a PhD in the Philosophy of Science at Cambridge from 2009 to 2013.[2] His thesis, which was supervised by Tim Lewens, was entitled Kin Selection: A Philosophical Analysis.[3] From 2012 to 2014, Birch held a Junior Research Fellowship at Christ's College, Cambridge.[2] He was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize in 2014.[4]

Birch took up an Assistant Professorship at the Department of Philosophy Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 2014.[2][1] In 2017, he published his monograph The Philosophy of Social Evolution with Oxford University Press. The book explores the philosophical foundations of social evolution theory, as founded by W. D. Hamilton, including Hamilton's rule, kin selection, and inclusive fitness. Birch makes the case that social evolution theory offers potential for furthering understanding of a range of areas of evolutionary science, including microbial evolution and human evolution, as well as in diverse studies of cooperation.[5] In 2018, Birch was promoted to Associate Professor.[2]

From 2020, Birch was the principal investigator for the five-year Foundations of Animal Sentience (ASENT) research project at LSE, which was funded by the European Research Council. Responding to controversies around the nature and attribution of animal sentience, the project seeks to develop "a conceptual framework for thinking about sentience as an evolved phenomenon that varies along several dimensions, a deeper understanding of how these dimensions of sentience relate to measurable aspects of animal behaviour and the nervous system, and a richer picture of the links between sentience, welfare and the ethical status of animals".[6]

Birch was the lead author of a report entitled Review of the Evidence of Sentience in Cephalopod Molluscs and Decapod Crustaceans for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, published in 2021. The report recommended that cephalopods and decapod crustaceans should be considered sentient under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and other UK laws.[7] The Animal Welfare (Sentience) Act 2022, when initially drafted in 2021, recognised only vertebrates as sentient. In response to Birch's report, however, the Act was amended to include cephalopods and decapods.[8]

In 2024, Birch, along with Jeff Sebo and Kristin Andrews, launched the New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness.[9] The declaration affirms that "there is strong scientific support for attributions of conscious experience to other mammals and to birds"; that "the empirical evidence indicates at least a realistic possibility of conscious experience in all vertebrates (including reptiles, amphibians, and fishes) and many invertebrates (including, at minimum, cephalopod mollusks, decapod crustaceans, and insects)", and that "when there is a realistic possibility of conscious experience in an animal, it is irresponsible to ignore that possibility in decisions affecting that animal".[10]

Birch's second book, The Edge of Sentience: Risk and Precaution in Humans, Other Animals, and AI, is due to be released in 2024 by Oxford University Press.[11][12][13]
