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: <br>
<br>
Sacrifice and expendability <br>
Animal art <br>
Road Kill<br>
Wild Life and Rescue<br>
Species extinction and climate change <br>
Mourning, grief and denial<br>
Euthanasia: perspectives from veterinary science<br>
Ontologies of Death and sacrifice<br>
Rituals of Slaughter<br>
Vivisection<br>
Who and who isn’t attributed a ‘soul’<br>
post-death belief systems<br>
Animal death and contemporary film<br>
The hunter and the Hunted<br>
<br>
Please forward to anyone you think might be interested in attending. <br>
