Monday 6th March at 3:30pm. Jade Hooper and I will be hosting an online screening of a talk by Carri Westgarth (who spoke at BERG a few weeks ago). It’s a recording of a talk that Carri did for the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC) called ‘Dog Bites - Public health risk and prevention strategies’. We’ll be watching it together and then maybe have a discussion after. It’s fairly long (1.5-2hrs) so people would be welcome to come along just for a bit if they can’t stay for the whole time. Bring your own snacks! The link for the Teams meeting is below: Click here to join the meeting<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/ap/t-59584e83/?url=https%3A%…> Hope to see some of you there!

Dear Bergers, I'm delighted to announce that this week's Berg seminar will be by Carri Westgarth, from the University of Liverpool. The seminar will be online at 4pm on Wednesday Feb 8th at this link. Below is her abstract and the list of other upcoming talks: You see a dog - you read their story - you fall in love” Importing rescue dogs from overseas In this presentation Carri will present her research studies on the importation of overseas rescue dogs. Despite this being both a very popular and contentious practice there was virtually no research evidence in this area until very recently. Findings will be presented regarding both positive and negative welfare implications for both the dogs and the owners. Finally, challenges and implications for practice and policy in this area are discussed. https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_MjI5NTVhOGItNWM0OC00Nz… Upcoming BERG seminars: Date Time Speaker Affiliation Title Location Feb 8 16:00 Carrie Westgarth University of Liverpool “You see a dog - you read their story - you fall in love” Importing rescue dogs from overseas Online Feb 15 Feb 22 March 1 16:00 Elizabeth Marks University of Bath Understanding and responding to eco-distress and climate anxiety Online March 8 Reading Week March 15 16:00 Arnaud Tognetti Karolinska Institutet TBA Online March 22 16:00 Mike Radford University of Aberdeen TBA TBA March 29 16:00 Maria Ojala Örebro University TBA Online April 5 16:00 Lucie Rigaill Université Rennes Multimodal sexual communication in Afro-eurasian monkeys Online April 12 OPEN April 19th 16:00 Alexandra Horowitz Barnard College Who is the dog?
