About this Event
Professor Cathy Dwyer is Director of the Jeanne Marchig International Centre for Animal Welfare Education at the Royal Dick School of Veterinary Medicine and the Head of the Animal Behaviour and Welfare research group at Scotland’s Rural College. Approahing Candice Lin’s The Animal Husband and selected works from Talbot Rice Residents, Cathy’s tour will provide a framework for considering how we relate to an animal’s treatment, agency and status in different contexts. From the different ways we treat dogs and cats, to the ethical questions about work animals, meat animals and animal experiments it will raise questions about some of the contradictions and dilemma’s surrounding human and non-human interactions and how they intersect with contemporary values.
