Movie Animals Protected (MAP) position
by Hannah Buchanan-Smith 25 Aug '22

25 Aug '22

In case of interest to someone.... Movie Animals Protected (MAP) is looking for part-time on-call representatives to oversee the humane treatment and safety of animals in film & television. We are looking for part-time on-call representatives in the London area (England), Budapest, France, Prague, Istanbul, and other European locations. Additional information from Ken Gold, a colleague who asked me to advertise: These are most certainly paid positions, but part-time. We will be advertising until the positions are filled. Ideally we are looking for local people near where the filming occurs, but some travel expenses will be covered dependent upon the specific jobs. Details of how to apply in attached document. Hannah's view: Aside from educational documentaries, I personally do not approve of (most of) the use of animals in film and television, given the potential for widespread negative consequences, and potential for animal alternatives (CGI etc). But given that it happens, overseeing animal treatment and diplomatically questioning their inclusion and the impact to the viewing public is a critical role. e.g. see https://www.internationalprimatologicalsociety.org/policy-statements-and-gu… Hannah M.

BERG meetings in the fall
by Gema Martin-Ordas 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Dear all, I hope you’re well. I am just emailing to let you know that we will start our series of BERG meetings on the 14th of September, at 4pm. Please, find attached the schedule for the fall and link for the online meetings. I have indicated which talks will be online and which ones F2F, however I have managed to book the Common room for Wednesdays 4pm-5pm starting on the 14th of September until mid-December. This opens up the possibility of meeting in that room (for those who are in Stirling and prefer to listen to the talks in the company of others rather than from the office or home) even if the talks are online. I will be sending reminders about the talks, so I can remind you about this possibility as well 😊 See you soon, Gema ________________________________ Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159
