Animal Publics: Emotions, Empathy, Activism
Animal Publics: Emotions, Empathy, Activism
Convened by the Australian Centre and the Human Rights and Animal Ethics Research Network (HRAE)
The University of Melbourne, 12-15 July, 2015
Animal Publics, the seventh biennial AASG international Conference, will explore the complex relationship between the public and private worlds of animals. It will consider the roles played by emotions, empathy and activism in the often contradictory way in which we relate to animals in both public and private spheres. Six acclaimed international key-note speakers will present papers over the four days. Speakers from around the world will also offer local and global perspectives on the issues involved. Debate will be further stimulated through an exhibition of art works, film screenings and book launches.
We look forward to meeting you all at Animal Publics in 2015.
