Dear H-Animal Members,
A symposium hosted by EACAS 2021, June 24-25
Symposium CfP: https://tinyurl.com/y356utrk
Whilst the ultimate success of CAS will be measured in terms of material social change in the lived circumstances of nonhuman animals a pathway to this involves cultural and political contestation. An overarching aim of critical animal studies has been to contest the anthropocentrism of academic knowledge.
Dear Friends,
I'm delighted to announce that our postponed spring 2020 meeting, 'Violence', will now take place in a series of free online events in March, April and May 2021.
Abstracts, bios of speakers and a link to sign up to one/all are on the BASN webpage: https://www.britishanimalstudiesnetwork.org.uk/FutureMeetings/Violence.aspx
We hope to see you soon
Erica

Dear H-Animal Members,
Editorial Position Opening
Society and Animals announces an opening in the journal for the position of Managing Editor of the Political Animals Section. The focus of Political Animals is policy, practice, ethics, and politics as they relate to human-animal relationships.
Whilst the ultimate success of CAS will be measured in terms of material social change in the lived circumstances of nonhuman animals a pathway to this involves cultural and political contestation. An overarching aim of critical animal studies has been to contest the anthropocentrism of academic knowledge. This has taken place across traditional academic disciplines, their sub-disciplines, and broader fields of knowledge under the rubric of the ‘animal turn’ over the last few decades. Yet CAS has always been extra-academic.
