Programme and Nominations for Utrecht

[Minding Animals]

Dear Study Circle member,

Please be advised that 14 of the 23 Study Circles have been selected
as part of the Minding Animals Conference in Utrecht. The conference
programme will indicate the following schedule (sorry, but absolutely
no changes can be made to this schedule due to the content of the
conference wide programme):

Lunchtime Roundtable, Wednesday, 4 July:
* Minding Marine Mammals
* Animals and Philosophy
* Animals and the Queer Communities
* a combined Compassionate Conservation, and Animals and Science

Lunchtime Roundtable, Thursday, 5 July:
* Minding Great Apes
* Animals and Religion
* Meat
* Animals, Politics and the Law

Lunchtime Roundtable, Friday, 6 July:
* Minding Equines
* Animals and Sentience
* Animals and Feminism
* a combined Extinction, and Animals and Climate Change

Convenors have been selected for the Marine Mammals and Religion Study
Circles, but we await nominations for the others. Convenors will
preside over the discussion at Utrecht, lead debate on the Study
Circle following Utrecht and in the run-up to MA3 in 2015, and
coordinate with the Minding Animals Board the publication of articles
in the ISEE (as mentioned in my previous post).

Also, Scribes will be needed at the roundtables to distribute a roll
for participants, who will take minutes at the roundtable and
subsequently distribute them to the Study Circle.

If you would like to nominate for either Convening the Study Circle,
or being a Scribe in Utrecht, please contact me at:

Kind regards,
Rod
