Keynote Speakers: Cary Wolfe (Rice) and Lori Gruen (Wesleyan)
\nThis conference seeks to explore the relationship between animals and their environs\, as well as the philosophical traditions that speak to these complex notions. We invite participants to question if and how philosophy&rsquo\;s treatment of animals and their environs can help us make sense of our current ecological situation. How have considerations of habitat\, dominion\, and domesticity determined the (ethical\, ontological\, rhetorical) status of animals? Conversely\, how have presuppositions about &ldquo\;the animal&rdquo\; informed what environs are proper to &ldquo\;man&rdquo\;? What would it mean for an animal to be &ldquo\;at home&rdquo\; in the current world? Can philosophical approaches to animals be more than an instrumentalizing procedure? How will climate change alter not only the vitality of a species but the very grounds from which it lays claim to a home? \;
\nWe welcome paper submissions of no more than 2500 words\, that are prepared for a blind review\, and suitable for a 15-20 minute long presentation.
\nEmail your submission (in PDF format) to tns.animalhouse@gmail.com with &ldquo\;Animalhouse Submission&rdquo\; in the subject line.
