    SAL U Lectures: Thinking Animals - Species, Power, and the Politics of Care in the World

    Animals occupy a paradoxical place in the world: they are everywhere, yet hidden. This five-part Seattle Arts & Lectures course, hosted at the Henry, explores the histories, politics, and cultural dynamics of how humans see and do not see animals in the world. Bringing expertise from wildlife sciences, animal welfare, geography, anthropology, literature, and political science, a distinguished set of speakers will explore human/animal connections in a range of global and historical contexts, including Renaissance France, contemporary Peru, and urban and rural spaces in the United States.
    February 13:
    Kathryn Gillespie, Geography, University of Washington, speaks on “The Cow with Ear Tag #1389: Species, Place and Power in U.S. Animal Agriculture.”
