Dear BERGers,
Next Wednesday (17 March, 16:00) we will have a special guest - Professor Jo Setchell (Durham University). Jo will lead a discussion on Decolonising Primatology. Please note that Jo will not give a presentation during the meeting. Instead, the discussion will be based on the presentation she gave during the last PSGB meeting. I put the link to a video recording of this presentation below this email. Please watch this video IN ADVANCE prior to the meeting (it's a 35 min presentation).
Looking forward to seeing you all next week and to the discussions on this very interesting and important topic! And thank you, Hannah, for inviting Jo!
