- BERG - University of Stirling Mailing Lists

by Pawel Fedurek

Dear BERGers, As some of you may know, the University of Stirling is advertising a number of funded, interdisciplinary PhD studentships within several different topics or 'clusters'. Several of BERG staff members are involved in some of these clusters. For example, Sharon, Clare, Gema and I are involved in the cluster "Nature Emergency - Interdisciplinary Responses by Active Citizens". Within this cluster (please see a more detailed description of the potential PhD topics, as well as a link summarising the cluster, below this email) there is a number of potential PhD topics related to animal behaviour, human-animal interactions, conservations, and climate change. If you are looking for a PhD and are interested in one of these topics, please get in touch with one of us - we will be happy to provide more details about these studentships and specific projects. Please also pass this on to anyone that might be interested in applying. Best wishes, Pawel Natuere Emergency potential PhD topics: 1) Wildlife Response Lab: Response-Making via Human Interactions with Nature Human-wildlife conflict has been at the centre of major global challenges and disasters, such as environmental degradation, climate change, and pandemics. Causes of this conflict include limited scientific knowledge and limited public awareness of how human behaviour can affect wildlife. The Wildlife Response Lab will address this problem by studying human-wildlife interactions and by involving students and communities in this research. Themes will include animal behaviour and cognition, human-animal interactions, and anthropogenic impacts on animal behaviour, as well as how interacting with wildlife and participating in research influences people’s attitudes to global challenges. Research will occur both on and off-campus, using transdisciplinary methodologies (citizen science, co-design) and cutting-edge technology to monitor wildlife (e.g., camera traps, thermal imaging). These innovative initiatives will serve dual goals of engaging the community in research, including data collection, and raising their awareness about, and responsiveness towards, the Nature Emergency. Supervisors: Pawel Fedurek, Gema Martin-Ordas, Clare Andrews, Sharon Kessler (FNS Psyc); Elisa Fuentes-Montemayor, Brad Duthie, Jen Dickie (FNS Biol), Andrew Smith (FAH), David Comerford (SMS) 2) Youth Response Lab: Young People’s Response-Making to the Nature Emergency Young people will be most affected by current and future impacts of the Nature Emergency. Youth are often at the forefront of activism, while also suffering feelings of anxiety, fear, disempowerment, and betrayal. The Youth Response Lab will study the experiences of, and approaches taken by, young people at multiple scales as responses to the Nature Emergency. Research will investigate the drivers of eco-anxiety and eco-grief, including exposure to climate impacts, feelings of betrayal by governments and businesses, and their impact upon intergenerational relationships. We will examine the role that eco-anxiety plays in motivating or paralysing individual behaviour change, activism and community-based responses. We will explore how young people engage with and contribute to climate and nature-based education, social and mental health services, empowerment via school-based civic action, school- and university-community linking, intergenerational eco-action, or social entrepreneurship. This will include developing knowledge of health- and educational co-benefits of youth response-making, and rights-based understandings of young people’s views and agencies and intergenerational understandings of rights and climate justice. Supervisors: Clare Andrews, Sharon Kessler, Gozde Ozakinci (FNS Psyc), Lena Dominelli, Sandra Engstrom (FoSS Soc), Greg Mannion (FoSS Edu), Tracy Kirk (FAH), Craig Anderson (SMS) 3) Political Economy Lab: Rights-Based Response-Making in Geopolitical Ecologies The appropriation of nature into global economic value chains lies at the core of many aspects of the Nature Emergency. The Political Economy Lab will investigate how the economic use value of nature – including the resources and ecosystem servicesprovided for society – intersects with the wider socio-cultural and political dimensions of production and consumption. Of particular interest are ethical arguments about nature possessing non-anthropocentric intrinsic value and non-human species having moral interests and rights. These could increasingly be reflected in decision-making processes, giving due recognition to both human and non-human realities. It is also important to consider how uneven processes of development accompanied by the commodification and neoliberalisation of nature lead to unsustainable use of resources (e.g., water, land, timber, rare minerals, etc.) and to the marginalisation of both human and animal communities, thus endangering a sustainable co-existence. This Lab will leverage a combination of social science and humanities methodologies in local, national, and global settings to explore divergent ideas of the scale and character of the Nature Emergency and how economics, politics, and culture shape human responses to it. Supervisors: Hannes Stephan, Clemens Hoffmann (FAH), Danny Campbell, Craig Anderson, David Comerford (SMS), Brad Duthie (FNS Biol), Pawel Fedurek, Gema Martin-Ordas (FNS Psyc), Lena Dominelli, Sandra Engstrom (FoSS) https://www.stir.ac.uk/research/research-degrees/institute-for-advanced-stu… ------------------------------- Dr Pawel Fedurek (he/his) Lecturer in Psychology Behaviour and Evolution Research Group (BERG) Division of Psychology, Faculty of Natural Sciences University of Stirling Stirling, FK9 4LA Scotland, UK Tel: +44 (0)1786 467844<tel:+441786467844> Twitter: @fedurekp<https://twitter.com/fedurekp> @BERG_Stirling<https://twitter.com/BERG_Stirling> Staff page<https://www.stir.ac.uk/people/1080868> | BERG page<https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/faculties/natural-sciences/our-research/resear…> I aim to reply within 3 working days (my working days are between Monday and Friday). ________________________________ Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159

New human-animal study - participants aged 18-25 years sought

by Hannah Buchanan-Smith

We (Dr Roxanne Hawkins, Dr Charlotte Robinson, Prof. Jo Williams) are a team of researchers based within Clinical and Health Psychology at the University of Edinburgh and we are conducting a new research study as part of a Society for Companion Animal Studies (SCAS) funded project into pets and mental health. We are recruiting people aged 18-25 years who live in the UK, who have a pet dog and/or cat, and are struggling with anxious feelings and/or low mood, for a research study on pets and the self-management of mental health difficulties. Participants do not need to have a mental health diagnosis to take part. The project involves an online interview (approx. 30-60 mins) with a researcher, and as a thank you, we can offer a £20 Amazon voucher. To find out more information, and to sign-up for the study, please follow this link: https://edinburgh.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/the-human-animal-bond<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fedinburgh…> Best wishes Dr Roxanne Hawkins (she/her) Lecturer in Applied Psychology MSc in Applied Psychology for Children and Young People<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ed.ac…> University of Edinburgh Department of Clinical and Health Psychology School of Health in Social Science Elsie Inglis Quad, Teviot Place Edinburgh, EH8 9AG roxanne.hawkins(a)ed.ac.uk | Twitter<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.c…> | My Research<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.resea…> Have pets?

Apes Set Free - Book Review Opportunity

by Sharon Kessler

Dear Bergers, I am looking for someone to review the book Apes Set Free for the International Journal of Primatology. If you are interested I can provide you with a copy of the e-book. This book looks like it might be of interest to anyone who is interested in the history of primatology, integrating perspectives from animal behaviour and decolonisation. I am happy to recieve reviews from students too. Link to the publishers website for this book here - https://www.routledge.com/The-Chimpanzees-of-Rubondo-Island-Apes-Set-Free/M…<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.routl…> Blurb about the book below How did a random batch of chimpanzees come to populate a small island in Tanzania where apes had never lived before? Combining information gathered from fieldwork, laboratory and archival research, this book tells the unique story of chimpanzee babies taken from their forest homes in West-Central Africa and sold to European zoos and circuses, to then be shipped to Lake Victoria and set free on Rubondo Island. These founder animals learnt what to eat, how to build nests, to breed and raise young – ultimately forming a chimpanzee-typical fission–fusion society that today is thriving. The authors compare the ecology, behaviour and genetics of the Rubondo population with communities of wild chimpanzees, providing exciting insights into how our closest relatives adjust to changing environments. At the same time, a reconstruction of the historical context of the Rubondo experiment reflects on its chequered colonial heritage, and the introduction is viewed against current threats to the survival of apes in their natural habitats. If you are interested, please email me (Sharon.Kessler(a)stir.ac.uk).
