Long Abstract:

Convened by the Global War Against the Rat and the Epistemic Emergence of Zoonosis project, the lab will bring together scholars from across the disciplinary divide to share and discuss methodological and interdisciplinary questions, challenges and collaboration pathways at the intersection of the Medical Humanities and Animal Studies. Each session will focus on a theme that will allow participants to discuss in free-format questions and challenges in their respective research field with the aim of sharing experiences and methodological tools, as well as ideas of expanding and unsettling interdisciplinary collaboration. Session 1 will focus on approaches to zoonosis. Session 2 will focus on approaches to epidemiological reasoning. Session 3 will focus on approaches to environmental aspects of wild and peri-domestic animals.
