Organizer

Contemporary Ethnography

Matei Candea (Cambridge University and editor of JRAI) talks about animals and ethics in this Academic Hour seminar.

The paper will read two rather disparate descendants of Aristotle – the science of ethology and the anthropology of ethics – alongside and through each other to ask what a long-term field study of meerkats can tell us about the ethical self-fashioning of contemporary ethologists.

All are welcome.
