From 10 to 14 October 2022, Leonie Cornips and Maarten Reesink are organising the interdisciplinary course “Animal – Human Studies from a Humanities Perspective” at FASoS.
Human-Animal Studies is about humans and their dynamic (power) relations with other animals.
FASoS students are invited to join this course.
Registration will be open in August and September.
For more information, click here.
Human-Animal Studies is a new academic discipline, combining theories and research from fields as diverse as history, linguistics, philosophy, anthropology, and media studies.
In this course, the origins of this new interdisciplinary field will be explored, figuring out why and how traditional disciplines have contributed to this so-called ‘animal turn’ in academia, particularly in the humanities (and the social sciences), and imagining what this all means for humans’ current and future relations with other animals.
