In 2017, Janine was awarded a five-year European Research Council Consolidator Grant. Most recently, in March 2024, she was awarded a Leverhulme Research Fellowship to work on a project entitled ‘Rethinking Transitional Justice: The Significance of More-than-Human Worlds’.

The aim of the project, which focuses on Ukraine and draws on posthumanist scholarship, is to rethink and expand the field of transitional justice in ways that acknowledge the suffering and agency of more-than-human worlds in situations of war and armed conflict. As part of this project, she is currently in the process of creating an online soundscape exhibition that provides novel acoustic insights into human and other-than-human experiences of the Russia-Ukraine war.
