The Programme for our Summer Workshop can now be downloaded here – Programme AHG17 or for a preview please see below. Keep your eye on our website and social media for announcements about #AHG18 in due course! We really enjoyed not only hearing such an interesting and diverse range of papers but also having the opportunity to gather so many animal historians in one room, which made for many fascinating and fruitful conversations. Thank you once again to everybody who helped make #AHG17 a success. You can see a summary the paper/panel live tweets and the wider online discussion around the workshop on our Storify. The AHG twitter account ran a live commentary of the papers and discussion on the day, and we know that a number of attendees were doing so as well.
In the evening, we were honoured to welcome Professor Harriet Ritvo, from MIT, to deliver her keynote address: A Whiff of Danger: Hybridity, Breed and Wildness.
We heard four panels of papers on the themes of Domesticity, Understanding, Deployment and Capture, and enjoyed extended and engaging discussion in the audience question sessions. On Thursday 1 st June, we were delighted to be joined for our first Summer Workshop by around fifty academics, students and museum professionals from around the UK and beyond. King’s College London, 1st June 2017. The Anatomy Museum, 6th Floor Strand Building, KCL, Strand, London, WC2R 2LS.
