Animal Cultures: A Paradigm for Determining What Matters to Animals

The Animals & Society Colloquium Series is co-sponsored by the Animals and Society Institute and the ASA Animals & Society Section. Animal cultures encompass the most critical aspects of an animal’s existence: what she does, where she belongs, and who she is. In this presentation, Issy Clarke argues that while we humans may never be able to speak for the animals, we can learn to speak better with them if we can step outside our anthropocentric bubble – and develop a deep understanding of a population’s culture enables that process. Issy suggests ways we can determine the culture of a population and seek to embrace and support more non-humans in our world. Speaker: Issy Clarke is not an academic but, unexpectedly, a sports broadcaster who has worked primarily in soccer for the past 30 years! However, she grew up in the country on a small holding and has always counted various non-humans among her closest friends. She started a Masters programme in Ethics in 2020 but found the course material too human-focused, and so she left the course and has been working on her dissertation idea as an independent scholar. Isabella volunteers for the Wildlife Trust in the UK and has made films to promote Paws Rescue Qatar.
