<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>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.<br><br></div><div>The details are at this link:<br></div><div><br><a href="http://scholarships.curtin.edu.au/scholarships/scholarship.cfm?id=2515" target="_blank">http://scholarships.curtin.edu.au/scholarships/scholarship.cfm?id=2515</a><br></div><div><div><br></div><div>Please get in touch if you have any questions.<br><br></div><div>All the best,<br></div><div>Matt<span><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span><font color="#888888"><div><br clear="all"><div class="gmail_extra"><br>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Dr Matthew Chrulew<br>Research Fellow, Centre for Culture and Technology, Curtin University<br>Associate Editor, <i>Environmental Humanities</i><br>@negentropist<br><br><div><a href="http://sub.uwpress.org/content/43/2.toc" target="_blank"><i>SubStance</i> 43:2, "Fabled Thought: On Jacques Derrida's <i>The Beast & the Sovereign</i>"</a><br><span><div><a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/cang20/19/3" target="_blank"><i>Angelaki</i> 19:3, "Philosophical Ethology I: Dominique Lestel"</a><a href="http://sub.uwpress.org/content/43/2.toc" target="_blank"><br></a></div></span></div><div><a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/cang20/20/2" target="_blank"><i>Angelaki </i>20:2, "Philosophical Ethology II: Vinciane Despret"</a><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
