The research team have organised a seminar for Tuesday 10^th of December at 2pm.  The researchers are both affiliated with the New Zealand Centre for Human-Animal Studies at UC.

Dr Nik Taylor is an internationally recognised critical and public sociologist who has published over 70 articles, books and book chapters. Her research focusses on mechanisms of power and marginalisation expressed in/through human relations with other species.

Emily Major is a PhD. candidate with the New Zealand Centre for Human-Animal Studies.  Emily is researching speciesism and pest control within New Zealand, looking at how ‘pest’ animals are (mis)treated within New Zealand, signalling how this reflects a larger narrative of what (human/non-human) bodies ‘belong’ in New Zealand.

This will be a great opportunity to learn more about the interdisciplinary research by the NZ Centre for Human-Animal Studies.

Venue PJH Room 210. Afternoon tea included!
