Podcasts about human animal studies

Richard Twine is Reader in Sociology at Edge Hill University in the UK, working at the nexus of critical animal studies, environmental sociology, the sociology of climate change and gender studies. He is co-director of The Centre for Human Animal Studies, an interdisciplinary forum for research and activities that engage with the complex material, ethical and symbolic relationships between humans, other animals, and their environments. Richard is the author of many articles, papers and books for both academic audiences and the wider public, including "The Climate Crisis and Other Animals". In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the most important questions: “what's real?”, “who matters?” and "how can we make a better world?" Sentientism answers those questions with "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 00:00 Clips! 00:43 Welcome 02:34 Richard's Intro - Philosophy, psychology, history, natural sciences, bio-technology and sociology - Ecofeminism (Carol Adams, Val Plumwood), Regan, Singer, then Critical Animal Studies - The "flawed awakenings" of climate change awareness and non-human animal ethics 05:28 What's Real? - Non-religious, implicitly atheist, socialist parents and household - Attending Sunday School with a Christian friend "It didn't have any effect - it was just another space to play" - A religious teacher who "made us recite the Lord's Prayer at the start of every day... that was odd... that kind of drove me away from religion" - Asking for an exemption from religious education at secondary school "Probably sociologically limited because it's actually good to learn about religion... but I already knew that wasn't something that I wanted to spend my time doing" - A materialist outlook "when we die, we die... decompose and feed the rest of nature... a kind of beautiful thing... I don't believe in an afterlife" - Avoiding dogmatism about materialism. Interested in near-death experiences - "I'm on board with that aspect of Sentientism - reason and evidence... but I would also add that my atheism isn't simplistically rationalistic... elements of romanticism in it... Shelley... beauty and wonder of nature giving us some kind of meaningfulness in our lives... that's enough." - "There's a poor track record with religiosity and conservative ideology... distanced me from it... used to justify patriarchy, anthropocentrism, colonialism, capitalism etc." - A hobbyist interest in UFOs and UAPs "stems from my childhood... subscribed to a magazine called 'The Unexplained'... I've always had that interest but ultimately - give me some evidence." - Conspiracy theories and cover-ups "I'm sceptical but I'm fascinated" - Richard's "'Alien' Disclosure and Critical Animal Studies" blog post 26:48 What Matters? 32:59 Who Matters? 58:29 A Better World? 01:21:12 Follow Richard - RichardTwine.com - @RichardTwine - The Centre for Human Animal Studies at Edge Hill University - @CfHAS - The Climate Crisis and Other Animals And more... full show notes at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sentientism.info⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this enlightening episode of the Animal Training Academy podcast, we sit down with Erin Jones, an independent scholar, author, and certified dog behavior consultant with a PhD in Human-Animal Studies. Erin shares her fascinating journey, from her early days in horse show jumping to her work in aquariums, and ultimately, to her current research on the ethical dimensions of the dog-human relationship. We explore Erin's transition into dog behavior consulting, her academic pursuits, and her groundbreaking work on canine consent. Listeners will gain insight into Erin's experiences working with various animals, from California sea lions to African penguins, and her profound reflections on animal liberation and the role of ethics in animal training. Erin delves deep into the idea of human exceptionalism, discussing how this mindset affects our relationships with dogs, as well as the nuances of providing consent and agency to our animal companions. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Erin's unique career path from aquariums to dog behavior consultancy and her thoughts on animal ethics. The importance of understanding the concept of canine consent and how it can positively impact training and behavior modification. Erin's reflections on human exceptionalism and its implications for the treatment of animals in various contexts. Her personal stories about working with highly fearful dogs and how she incorporated principles of consent to help them thrive. Why This Episode is a Must-Listen: Erin Jones' expertise and thought-provoking perspective on the ethical treatment of animals offer valuable insights for trainers, behaviorists, and anyone interested in the deeper moral questions surrounding human-animal relationships. This episode challenges conventional thinking and provides a fresh lens through which to view animal training and welfare.

On the latest episode of The Vegan Pod, we're celebrating World Environment Day by discussing how our relationship with non-human animals contributes to the climate crisis and asking what we can do to change it. Despite research illustrating the widespread environmental impact of animal agriculture, it is often an issue that gets left out of conversations about the climate crisis. To help us explore why this is and what we can do about it, we're joined by Dr Richard Twine and Dr Heather Marshall from The Centre for Human Animal Studies at Edgehill University. Together, with our host, they unpack the role that the current relationship between humans and animals plays in the environmental crisis, the impacts of the climate crisis on animals and how education can play a key role in encouraging wider adoption of veganism. The views expressed by guests on The Vegan Pod are not necessarily the views of The Vegan Society.  

It's time for another trip around the solar system on the BIGGER and BETTER Science Weekly!  This episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly we continue our bigger and better podcast where we put YOUR questions to our team of experts, have scientists battle it out for which science is the best & learn all about why the ERS-2 spacecraft was so important to the European Space Race. Dan starts with the latest science news, where we learn about why a tiny see-through fish called Danionella Cerebrum found in Berlin has been making noises as loud as an pneumatic drill, the birth of an endangered monkey in a Zoo in Whipsnade, England and Dhara Patel from the National Space Centre joins us to explain why the breaking up of ERS-2 ad it re-entering the Earth's atmosphere is such a big deal. Then we delve into your questions where Dan explains why salt kills slugs then we pose Zoe's question on how dinosaur fossils are formed to Palaeontologist Regan Douglas from TheDinosaurs.org Dangerous Dan continues and we learn all about the deep and deadly Tonga Trench which lies way down in the Pacific OceanThe Battle of the Sciences continues where Dan chats to Professor Tobias Linne from the University of Lind in Sweden all about why Human Animal Studies is the best! Then we pay a visit to Marina Ventura as she gets up close with and today she's inside a bird's nest finding out how animal homes aren't that different to ours. What do we learn about? - The German fish found to make insane amount of noise - An extremely rare and endangered monkey born at Whipsnade Zoo - The end of ERS2's time in space - How dinosaur fossils were formed? - Why Human Animal Studies is the best type of science?

Today we are continuing our discussion of ‘power words', terms that humans use to control the narratives of otherthanhuman lives. Today's term is ‘feral', and it is a contentious term, in our opinion. Our paper on this topic ‘Uncivilised Behaviors' was published last year in Society and Animals journal, and today we will unpack that paper in a discussion with our special guest and coauthor, Debbie Busby.

Vögel und Wale singen, aber sogar Mäuse erzeugen Klänge, die an Vogelgezwitscher erinnern. Nur können wir diese Frequenzen mit dem menschliche Ohr nicht wahrnehmen. Die Forschung hat da längst noch nicht alles entdeckt. Der neue Studiengang "Human Animal Studies" an der Nürnberger Musikhochschule beschäftigt sich nun eingehend mit dem Thema Tiermusik.

Claudia chats with Paula Arcari about the animals and how animals are rendered invisible in the urban – not only materially but epistemically and ethically too. They grapple with which animals are considered in the celebration of multispecies urban entanglements, and which are not. Date recorded: 29 March 2021 Paula Arcari is a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow within the Centre for Human Animal Studies at Edge Hill University, UK. Her three-year project ‘The Visual Consumption of Animals: Challenging Persistent Binaries' aims to support transformational change in the way humans conceive and interact with nature. Before joining Edge Hill, Paula worked at RMIT University in Melbourne on a range of climate change projects and completed her PhD there in 2018. She is primarily interested in understanding the constitution of societal change and stability in relation to climate and environmental change, the expropriation of nature, and the oppression of nonhuman animals. Find out more about Paula here. Claudia (Towne) Hirtenfelder is the founder and host of The Animal Turn. She is a PhD Candidate in Geography and Planning at Queen's University and is currently undertaking her own research project looking at the geographical and historical relationships between animals (specifically cows) and cities.

On this week's The Sci-Files, your hosts Chelsie and Danny interview Kelsey Merreck Wagner. Wagner is a printmaker/painter/textile artist, environmental activist, and second-year Ph.D. Anthropology student with certifications/specializations in Gender, Justice and Environmental Change, Human-Animal Studies, and Community Engagement. Wagner has her B.A. in Studio Arts from Western Michigan University (2013) and her M.A in Appalachian Studies: Sustainability (2017). Her research focuses on human-elephant conflict and elephant ecotourism in Southeast Asia and incorporates community-based art to raise awareness, spark discussion, build capacity, and reimagine a more socially and environmentally just future for all species on the planet. Wagner's research is insistent upon participatory processes that include community members and marginalized voices, respect for humans, animals, and the environment, and radical creativity to solve problems. She has worked around the world in various community arts and education contexts, most recently in Siem Reap, Cambodia at Fauna in Focus' Nature Discovery Center, where she worked as the exhibitions coordinator, designing and creating exhibits, activities, and text for their natural history museum. She also makes her own environmental art that draws on anthropological theory on capitalism, species extinction, and human-environment relationships, and has exhibits about human-elephant relationships, bats, and plastic consumption/reduction. Wagner looks forward to getting back to Southeast Asia to see more elephants and engage in further community-based arts and environmental work.If you're interested in talking about your MSU research on the radio or nominating a student, please email Chelsie and Danny at scifiles@impact89fm.org.

Sociocognitive abilities of animals have been studied over the past few decades, but there is still a huge gap in research looking at animal ethics. What are the implications of this and how does this influence human behavior towards animals? In a new podcast, Dr. Judith Benz-Schwarzburg, Senior Postdoctoral Researcher at the University for Veterinary Medicine, Vienna, talks about pertinent questions on studying the cognitive and emotional abilities of animals and why they are important. Her discussion is an extension of her book titled “Cognitive Kin, Moral Strangers? Linking Animal Cognition, Animal Ethics & Animal Welfare,” published in the Human-Animal Studies series of Brill. Guest: Dr Judith Benz-Schwarzburg  Host: Leigh Giangreco  

In this episode, we are joined by Margo DeMello (PhD, Cultural Anthropology, UC Davis), Assistant Professor at Carroll College in the Anthrozoology Program. Margo has also been an adjunct professor in the Canisius College Anthrozoology program, she directed the Human-Animal Studies program at the Animals & Society Institute for 15 years, and she is the immediate past president of House Rabbit Society. She has published over a dozen books, most within the field of human-animal studies and body studies, and dozens of articles and book chapters.To introduce us to her work and field, Margo explains the field of anthrozoology, the study of human-animal relationships, and what goes into pursuing a degree. She describes it as a lens through which we can look at other species in a way that challenges anthropocentrism and recognises that humans and animals have always been interlinked.After working with the Animals & Society Institute for 15 years, Margo shares the main focuses of the organisation: exploring the question of violence in human-animal relationships, helping students and faculty to find and build the field, and using the field's literature to shape policy about animals. Additionally, Margo tells us about another important organisation in her life, the House Rabbit Society, and how their work helped transform rabbits from a somewhat third class pet kept outside with limited medical care and companionship to being widely considered worthy of respect and compassion.Margo has written many books on animals, and shares insights with us from several of her works. Her textbook, Animals & Society, was written to ensure the field was sustainable and had the resources it needed to succeed and grow. Why Animals Matter, written together with Erin E. Wiliams, is an overview of the issues facing animals and the main areas where humans and animals coexist, covering animals in entertainment, hunting and relationships with wildlife, meat consumption, and pets. Speaking for Animals questions who has the right to advocate for who, and what the implications are for everyone else.Lastly, Margo tells us a bit about her book Mourning Animals that examines who gets to be mourned, how it is done with respect to cultural practices, and who doesn't get to be mourned. in the animal care field death is unfortunately encountered regularly as the years go by and there isn't always space for feelings of grief when we lose animals. Luckily, the field is shifting, and many beautiful rituals are emerging to help not only humans but the animals left behind to mourn their loved ones. Speaking to animal care professionals, Margo recommends reaching out to others when mourning an animal and having people to talk to who care about you and also care about animals so you can honestly express how you're feeling.For more info on Anthrozoology:Society & Animals AnthrozoösExeter's PhD

How did we get from the gorgeous red junglefowl scratching away in the jungles of south-east Asia to the chicken now eaten in its millions? Brett Westwood and Joanna Pinnock trace the trail.

In dieser Folge stellt Carsten das Buch "Human Animal Studies" vom Chimaira Arbeitskreis vor, erklärt er, wann Du das Buch lesen solltest undhörst Du eine brandneue Folge von "Ein bisschen Kuhmilch"Zugegeben, das Buch "Human Animal Studies" wirkt erstmal ziemlich trocken, sind es doch wissenschaftliche Arbeiten, die sich in dieser Sammlung befinden. Carsten hat das Buch dennoch komplett gelesen und festgestellt, dass es ein umfassendes Bild des noch jungen Forschungszweigs abbildet. Vom Tier in unserer Sprache, über Tiergeschichtsschreibung, konstruierte Andersartigkeit, queer-theoretische Betrachtungen, Sexismuskritik und Tierversuche hin zur visuellen Repräsentation der Tierrechtsbewegung und dem Verhältnis von Hardcore-Szene zu veganer Biografie. Der Chimaira Arbeitskreis hat auch noch zwei weitere Sammelbände und diverse Aufsätze in Fachzeitschriften veröffentlicht. Schau doch mal auf ihrer Webseite vorbei.

Tiere spielen eine zentrale Rolle in der Arbeit der Erziehungswissenschaftlerin Reingard Spannring. Sie beschäftigt sich mit den komplexen und vielschichtigen Beziehungen zwischen Menschen und Tieren und bewegt sich damit in dem relativ neuen, aber boomenden Forschungsfeld der „Human-Animal Studies“. Zu Gast in „Zeit für Wissenschaft“ erzählt Spannring über ihr gesellschaftskritisch geprägtes wissenschaftliches Selbstverständnis im Spannungsfeld zwischen ethischen Werten und Objektivität. Die Betrachtung von Mensch-Tier-Beziehungen aus human-, geistes- und sozialwissenschaftlicher Perspektive nahm ihren Ausgang im anglophonen Raum und entwickelte sich parallel zur Tierrechtsbewegung. Die interdisziplinären Human-Animal Studies plädieren für eine neue Konzeptionalisierung des Blickes auf Tiere als Lebewesen mit eigenen Erfahrungen, Gefühlen und Interessen. Reingard Spannring interessiert sich für gesellschaftliche Ambivalenzen zwischen empathischer Haustierhaltung und Massentierhaltung und arbeitet vor diesem Hintergrund an pädagogischen Konzepten.
