Hosted by the University of Exeter’s Anthrozoology as Symbiotic Ethics (EASE) working group, the second Anthrozoology as International Practice (AIP) student conference is scheduled to take place virtually 11-12 November 2022. We welcomed submissions from students from a range of educational experiences and early-career researchers in anthrozoology and related fields (such as human-animal studies, natural sciences, history, and philosophy) from around the world. We sought to promote research that considers more-than-human animals as ethically significant beings and not merely research subjects. As such, presenters were asked to consider how their research aligns to the principles of Exeter Anthrozoology as Symbiotic Ethics (EASE).
Presentations on a variety of topics related to anthrozoology were selected and include contributions from students and alumni of the University of Exeter distance-based MA in Anthrozoology. The programme includes a keynote address from Professor Samantha Hurn and a workshop on ‘Ways of doing anthrozoology and the future of the field.’

Registration is FREE (via Eventbrite) and open to anyone with an interest in how humans relate to and interact with other animals.
Senior academics and professionals are very welcome to attend, providing they understand this is a student conference and frame any questions or feedback in a nurturing and constructive manner. Please consider supporting your students and/or making contact with the next generation of aspiring anthrozoologists!
This event will also be of interest to anyone considering postgraduate research focused on human interactions with other living beings.
