Call for Papers: Thinking About Animals

by Jasmin September 24, 2010

Here’s a call for papers for those of you interested in further exploring animals issues through academia. You might want to inspire yourself by rereading activist Chis Taylor’s proposal for her upcoming paper (to be presented at a different conference), entitled “The inclusionist perspective: A fat, vegan, queer, feminist, academic looks for community.”

CALL FOR PAPERS: THINKING ABOUT ANIMALS 2011- BROCK UNIVERSITY

(Please distribute widely!)

The Department of Sociology at Brock University is issuing a Call for Papers for a conference on “Thinking About Animals” to be held March 31 and April 1, 2011 at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.  This two-day conference will explore a variety of issues concerning the current and historical situation of nonhuman animals and interactions with humans.

The Department is organizing this conference with the assistance of the Office of the Dean of Social Sciences, the Departments of English, Political Science, History and Visual Arts, the MA Programme in Critical Sociology, and the MA Programme in Social Justice and Equity Studies.  We are especially pleased to be hosting this conference in association with the Institute of Critical Animal Studies as the 10th annual ICAS conference.

As with past conferences, we welcome participation from both activists and academics.  The conference will be completely vegan.

Please send a short proposal (2-3 paragraphs or enough details to describe your idea) to: ac2011@BrockU.CA
