Human rights are widely thought to be held by \;all \;and \;only \;human beings. This follows naturally from the orthodox characterization of human rights as the fundamental rights held by humans \;in virtue of being human. \;This view assumes either that there are morally relevant\, rights-grounding features that are shared by all and only members of the human species\, or that being a member of the human species is morally relevant in itself. Both of these assumptions have undergone extensive criticism in the literature on the moral and legal status of non-human animals\, but relatively little attention has been paid to this literature in the growing body of philosophical work on human rights.
\nThis workshop will bring together scholars in philosophy\, law\, and politics to discuss a number of questions concerning the human exceptionalism characteristic of human rights theory and practice. These questions include the following: \;
