[csaa-forum] PhD scholarship in Philosophical Ethology

[Matthew Chrulew]

Dear all,

Curtin University has one PhD scholarship available for a student to work
on an ARC DECRA Fellowship “Towards a New Philosophical Ethology.”  This
project’s goal is to articulate the significance of ethology and the domain
of animal behaviour for contemporary interdisciplinary debates in the
environmental humanities and animal studies. At a time of dwindling
habitats and biodiversity loss, new insights into animal cognition,
technology and culture have unsettled the traditional categories of
humanist exceptionalism that reduce animals to merely reactive machines.
Through investigating the sciences of animal behaviour, and rehabilitating
marginalised strands of scholarship in Continental philosophy and
theoretical biology, the project aims to provide sophisticated conceptual
resources for understanding human relations with wildlife.

The details are at this link:

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

All the best,
Matt
