Hi BERG,
An upcoming talk organised outside of Psychology that may interest many of you:
On Thursday March 28 at 3:15 pm in room C.2A54 in the Cottrell building Heather Browning
(Southampton) will give a talk entitled "How do we set thresholds for animal
welfare?" Abstract copied below.
Recommendations for animal welfare often rely on reference to different welfare
thresholds. While some welfare science simply aims at the comparative goal of welfare
improvements (i.e. increasing the level of welfare from its previous baseline), other
applications aim at the more absolute goals of achieving good welfare, or creation of a
life worth living. The latter cases involve a normative element in judging where the
relevant thresholds lie. Here I discuss some of the commonly used thresholds and outline
some principled ways of setting their levels.
Also hybrid via Zoom:
