Conference open for non-speakers

We are happy to announce that it will be possible to attend our digital conference as a non-speaker. The conference: Veterinary Humanities Network: Doing Animal Health in more-than-human worlds will be held on Thursday, 8th of October and Friday 9th of October. All given times in the program are referred to CET - please keep a possible time gap in mind! 


There has been a slight change in our program: we will start already at 11:30 am with a welcome and a short introductory note. Accordingly, the Keynote by LUDEK BROZ, Praha, CZ will start at noon (CET).  



You can attend the conference through this link: https://eu.bbcollab.com/guest/258df1cd32b440d69a244d3e456ca851
 
We would encourage you to take part in the conference both days or at least one of the days, rather than only attend a particular panel. If you are interested in specific presentations only, you can also contact the speakers directly or ask us for their contact.  

Please read also before our recommendations for etiquette in virtual meetings (also attached):

Post-Conference Update

The recordings of the presentations can be received by writing an email request to the individual speakers. We left it for them to decide, if they want to publish  or distribute their recording. The first (online-)conference of the Network for Veterinary Humanities was a successful event, nonetheless to our wonderful speakers. With different backgrounds such as philosophy, sociology, literature studies and anthropology the speakers covered a wide range of topics. At the end of each panel, we had fruitful discussions, also together with scholars, who attended the online conference as listeners. In our final discussion round, perspectives for the future of veterinary humanities were elaborated. We are looking forward to the things to come, and to a 2nd conference, that is planned for the future.
