This symposium brings together cross-disciplinary voices on the topic of Animal Death. Over two days we will explore how animal and human death are conceptualised; how they diverge, differ and also connect in profound ways.  The conference will be exploring the following themes:

Sacrifice and expendability
Animal art
Road Kill
Wild Life and Rescue
Species extinction and climate change
Mourning, grief and denial
Euthanasia: perspectives from veterinary science
Ontologies of Death and sacrifice
Rituals of Slaughter
Vivisection
Who and who isn’t attributed a ‘soul’
post-death belief systems
Animal death and contemporary film
The hunter and the Hunted

Please forward to anyone you think might be interested in attending.

Convenors: Fiona Probyn-Rapsey and Jay Johnston (USYD)
