Join ISAZ at Hartpury 2024
The International Society for Anthrozoology (ISAZ) would like to invite you to the 2024 conference to be held at Hartpury University in Gloucestershire, England on June 27 - 30, 2024.
Abstract submission: Open (closes 01 February 2024)
Registration: Opening mid - late March 2024.
Conference Theme
The theme is "Watch and Learn: The value of observing and being with animals". As public focus increases on human interactions with animals it is imperative for researchers and practitioners to consider the value of animals in human lives and potential for mutually beneficial interactions through observing animals. Historical topics such as animals in zoos but topics growing in recognition such as animals education, animal assisted services (AAS), pet behaviour such as dog bites, and moral and ethical scrutiny encapsulated in social licence to operate (SLO). The vision of the conference is to explore and bring greater awareness of the value of observation to both human and animal wellbeing.
