Animals and Society II: Considering Animals
Location:	Australia

An interdisciplinary conference exploring the relationship between
animals and humans


The conference aims to bring together researchers from a broad range of
academic disciplines spanning the humanities, social sciences and
physical sciences, as well as representatives from non-government
organisations, industry and government, to examine the relationships
between animals and humans from social, cultural, historical,
geographical, environmental, moral, legal and political perspectives.

The burgeoning academic field of human-animal studies is rapidly gaining
international prominence. Considering Animals provides an important
opportunity for researchers to share knowledge and experience in this
exciting field and will encourage a critical approach to our relations
with non-human animals. We see this conference as consolidating the
field of human-animal studies in Australia and particularly welcome
contributions from new disciplinary areas.
