EXTENDED DEADLINE
Call for Papers: Kinship in Crisis Research Symposium: What connects us?
Hosted by Centre for Human Animal Studies (CfHAS) Post-Graduate Researchers
Date: 7th June
Online and in-person event.
Location: The Quaker Meeting House, 22 School Ln, L1 3BT, Liverpool.
In this age of the 6th mass extinction and the prevalence of division and destruction, we ask: what connects us? What remedial action are humans taking? How might we respond to the climate crisis and nonhuman animal suffering as researchers, academics, writers, and creators? Research exploring more positive connections between human and nonhuman animals has expanded significantly across disciplines in recent years, yet the majority of academia remains anthropocentric and sectional - we want to challenge this.
This symposium explores the intersections of animal studies across disciplines and their different ways of approaching and merging with this field. The CfHAS PGRs are encouraging post-graduates to come together to share their research and explore the ways we are connected. MA, MSc, MRes, PhD students and researchers with work in progress projects are welcome.
Given the hybrid nature of the event, both online and in-person presentations are welcome.
Vegan refreshments will be provided at the start of the event and for mid-morning and afternoon breaks. Participants will be informed on nearby plant-based restaurants and bars.
We welcome research papers, creative writing, film and media content, performances and/or workshop proposals from scholars across arts, humanities, social sciences and related fields.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Climate crisis, environment and ecology
- Animal ethics, law and care
