Titled: A Qualitative Study into the Classification of Great Apes as Persons. Results of this study will allow me to draw conclusions as to whether great apes should be granted personhood. I am aware that you have a Primatology department within your university, and I would greatly appreciate it if this email could be distributed among any lecturers, postgraduate or PhD students that may be interested in completing an interview for this study.
