Apologies for cross-posting, but I'm excited to announce my newest book on human and nonhuman animal communication.

Call for papers: ANIMAL / PRIVACY: Historical and Conceptual Approaches (Online Workshop: November 9, 2021)

Interdisziplinäre Sommerakademie des Zentrums für Mittelalter- und Renaissancestudien (ZMR) an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München

20.–24. September 2021 (online)

Leitung: Prof. Dr. Peter Adamson, Dr. des. Jan Glück, Prof. Dr. Michael Waltenberger

Ziel dieses Aufrufs ist die Gründung eines interdisziplinären „Netzwerks Jagdgeschichten“, das dem kollegialen und informellen Austausch über Untersuchungen zum Thema der Jagd dienen soll. Angestrebt ist eine überregionale Plattform zur Vernetzung und zum fachlichen Austausch zwischen interessierten Kolleg*innen, die sich entweder in ihren Qualifikationsprojekten oder auch nur gelegentlich mit dem absichtsvollen Töten von Wildtieren beschäftigen bzw.

Hello, all,

Here is a postdoctoral fellowship on the history of breeding technologies and animal welfare in cattle at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. This research will contribute to the historical portion of a larger interdisciplinary project that examines perceptions, trust and interest in gene-editing technology among and within the milk and beef supply chains from farmers through to consumers. The historical research will focus on understanding perception, trust, and adoption of historical breeding technologies among all interested groups from farmers to consumers.
