Webcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by Green College’s Principal’s Series: Thinking at the Edge of Reason: Interdisciplinarity In Action. In 2011-12, an ad hoc group of UBC students and faculty convened at Green College an interdisciplinary speaker series on the use of animals at the university. In the wake of this series, convenors report and reflect on pressing questions of how we govern nonhuman animals and their use at the university, and the challenge of critiquing governance and the university.
Speakers include:
- Laura Janara, Political Science, UBC
- Elisabeth Ormandy, Animal Welfare Program, UBC
- Darren Chang, Political Science, UBC
