Organization : Charles Fontaine & Véronique Armstrong
September 22 & 23, 2022
Deadline: July 1, 2022
The Research Group in Environmental & Animal Ethics (GRÉEA) is pleased to announce the organization of the second edition of its early career researchers workshop opened to candidates whose work connects with one or more of GRÉEA’s research axes:
-
Fundamental normative issues in animal ethics and/or environmental ethics;
-
Practical issues related to our relationship to non-human animals and nature;
-
Scientific knowledge and epistemological approaches that can help to elucidate our relationship with non-human entities.
Presentation of the workshop
This workshop aims to give an opportunity to student GRÉEA’s members and early career scholars whose research tackles environmental or animal ethics issues to publicize their work within a dedicated space favorable to exchange and discussion.
This year again, the workshop will be held through ZOOM (Montreal, EDT).
Each speaker will get a time slot of 35 minutes, with 20 to 25 minutes for the presentation of their research and, respectively, 15 to 10 minutes dedicated to Q&A. The full program of the workshop will be publicized by the end of the summer.
About the GRÉEA
The GRÉEA is an inter-university and interdisciplinary research group in environmental and animal ethics, created at the end of the year 2015 and, since 2016, associated with the Centre de recherche en éthique (CRÉ).
The GRÉEA aims to promote exchange and collaboration between researchers (professors/teachers in university/CEGEP, postdoc students, etc.) and graduate students (Master’s or PhD level) working in environmental ethics, animal ethics, or on related issues, especially from a non-anthropocentric perspective. The GRÉEA also aims to make more visible and accessible — to academic as well as non-academic audiences — French and English language research in environmental and animal ethics. In addition, GRÉEA is committed to reducing the negative impact of GRÉEA events on non-human animals, ecological communities, and ecosystems through various actions (non-disposable tableware, vegan and organic food, no funding for air travel, reduction of long-distance travel, etc.).
GRÉEA acknowledges that its main activities are held on unceded First Nations’ territories in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal.
