@UniofExeter @Carleton_U I say in the Acknowledgements: "I am extremely grateful to the staff and students at @Carleton_U. You expanded my thinking & reinvigorated my passion for literature. Just one year at Carleton changed the trajectory of my life." @CUinEnglish @CU_FASS @Carleton_Intl @CarletonAlumni

Happy birthday to my wonderful book: Literature, Science, and Animal Advocacy in Canada! link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… I'm extra nostalgic & grateful today. It's safe to say that the #StudyAbroad programme between @UniofExeter and @Carleton_U changed my life. It was THE BEST decision!

Call for Submissions – Sloth: A Journal of Emerging Voices in Human-Animal Studies - @asi_org "Sloth encourages our contributors to think and write purposefully about the animals–individuals and species–with whom we share this planet ..." niche-canada.org/2024/10/25/cal… #animalstudies

Our NiCHE Conversation with @bcordeir15 is available to watch on YouTube! Cordeiro joined @JessicaMDeWitt to discuss the nuclear waste issue in Northern Ontario. youtube.com/watch?v=D12jn3… #envhist #nuclear #ontario

#WolfAwarenessWeek "Wolf #677 has become synonymous with the character of Lobo. He was the last wolf Seton would ever hunt, and his death mirrors that of the Lobo in the story." @KnowingNonhuman niche-canada.org/2024/07/05/one… #envhist #animalhistory #envhum

Exciting news that may be of interest to some of our listeners! @asi_org has relaunched Sloth, a journal dedicated to publishing the scholarly work of undergrads & recent graduates. #HumanAnimalStudies #HAS #Anthrozoology animalsandsociety.org/research/sloth/

@PamelaBanting @asi_org Oh brilliant! Thank you very much! I'm hoping to see more submissions from literature students (and the humanities in general). Fingers crossed!

🦥Calling students/grads studying animals! 🦥As part of our efforts to reach out to students with an interest in #HumanAnimalStudies, @asi_org has created Sloth: A Journal of Emerging Voices in Human Animal Studies -- a journal for undergraduate students and recent graduates.🧵

@NiCHE_Canada @asi_org Yes please, that would be great!

@KnowingNonhuman @asi_org Would you like to post an announcement on our site about this opportunity @KnowingNonhuman?

@CSNREC @asi_org Ah that would be fantastic! Thank you very much! 😁

@asi_org 🧵The journal is continuing publication after a hiatus that began in 2021: animalsandsociety.org/research/sloth/ 🦥 #HumanAnimalStudies #AnimalStudies #AnimalsinMedia #AnimalsinLiterature #AnimalHistory #AnimalsandSociety #AnimalFiction #AcWri #Students #Grads #Literature

@asi_org 🧵The mission of #Sloth is to publish scholarly studies, book and film reviews, or artistic products that increase our understanding of or raise awareness of issues involving human/non-human animal relationships.

I'm fascinated by the growth of video & tabletop RPGs about communities of 'realistic' anthropomorphic animals. There's so much to discuss here. I think I need to get writing (and playing!)🤔🕹️🐀 #animalstudies #animalsinmedia #animalsingames #cosygames #academicwriting

I remember seeing the co-operative hunting in #MyOctopusTeacher and wondering whether this kind of interspecies collaboration was more common that we had assumed. The lives of fishes and molluscs are far richer and more complex than we ever imagined #fishwelfare #octopuswelfare

Excellent! I'm so delighted that this journal exists. Looks like I'd better get to work on some submissions👀📚

Today on our site we have "One or Several Lobos? Uncovering the Wolves Behind the Legend" by @KnowingNonhuman This is the second post in the NiCHE series Animal Encounters, edited by @heathergreen21 and @c_the_abbott. niche-canada.org/2024/07/05/one… #animalhistory #envhist #wolves

#DavidAttenborough called #Lobo "The Wolf That Changed America." #Disney made "The Legend of Lobo" film about him in 1962. But what's the truth behind the story? How many real Lobos were there? niche-canada.org/2024/07/05/one… #ErnestThompsonSeton #AnimalHistory #wolves #EnvHist #CanLit

This is why organizations like @internetarchive are absolutely vital. (While we're at it, here's the open letter regarding Hachette v. Internet Archive: chng.it/wSsYXctMpC) Thank you to #librarians, #archivists, and #digitalcurators everywhere.

without the use of #openaccess online archives. My deepest and sincerest heartfelt thanks go to every single person who has gone through the no doubt arduous task of scanning and archiving thousands of old books and documents. 🧵

Today, from my office in England, I'm finally reading one of Ernest Thompson Seton's journals held in the @AMNH. After writing about him for so many years, I'm now able to see his original notes and illustrations on the wild animals he encountered. 🧵
