[BERG] BERG/SHAIR this Weds: UFAW Guest Lecture

Dear BERG/SHAIR, This week we have an exciting guest lecture on Wednesday: University of Stirling’s 2023 Universities Federation for Animal Welfare<https://www.ufaw.org.uk/ufaw-events/fsvo-ufaw-symposium-a-humanely-ending-the-life-of-animals> Guest Lecture Alexander Weiss, University of Edinburgh Making (Vegan?) Sausages: Lessons Learned from Editing a Book on Primate Welfare and Well-Being [A green and white website Description automatically generated] Abstract: Over an eight-year period I worked with Lauren Robinson—then my Ph.D. student—to edit the edited volume “Nonhuman Primate Welfare: From History, Science, and Ethics to Practice<https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-82708-3#aboutB…k>”, which was published recently by Springer. The book grew out of my interest in well-being, both in animals and in humans, and in Lauren’s interest in primate welfare, and in a belief in freedom of expression and the value of open debate. The project cut deeply into both a visiting professorship I held at Kyoto University and into a sabbatical in Tucson, Arizona. Based on my previous experiences editing books, I did not intend or expect it to take so long. I also did not expect to learn as much as I did about primate welfare. I also learned a lot of lessons about editing an academic book, which I did not learn with previous volumes, which took less time. In my talk, after a brief overview of my own interest in the area, I will cover what I learned over those eight years and what, should I edit another volume, I would do differently. I will also take the time to say “Thank you and goodbye.” to old friends. Please join us for the lecture in the Psychology Common Room (Cottrell, C3A94) and hybrid (link here<https://tinyurl.com/BERG-UFAW23>)3>). We are grateful to UFAW for kindly sponsoring this lecture! All are welcome to join us for dinner along with Alex afterwards! Sadly for us, Alex will soon be moving away from Scotland, so this is an opportunity not to be missed.
