.............................................................................................................................................................. 244 Welcome to ISAZ 2021 Greetings, We are excited to welcome you to the 30th annual conference of the International Society for Anthrozoology. This year marks ISAZ’s second year hosting a virtual conference, and despite the virtual format, the conference includes many opportunities for delegates to engage with colleagues from around the world. This year, we have an exciting lineup of keynote lectures presented by Frans de Waal, Aubrey Fine, and Elizabeth Strand. These lectures are complemented by our schedule of live-streamed talks, which include member-organized symposia and topically themed sessions. All of these (with the exception of Frans de Waal’s talk) will be recorded and available to watch at your leisure after the conference. Additionally, thanks to the fantastic response to the call for abstracts, delegates can access approximately 150 additional talks “on demand” through our conference portal. With talks by scholars from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, our program reflects the rich, interdisciplinary nature of the field of anthrozoology. In addition to offering an assortment of livestreamed and on-demand talks, we have arranged for our participants to connect with each other. Scattered throughout the conference are 30- minute networking and social opportunity events. During these events, you are invited to Join a Zoom room with individuals who share similar interests. Furthermore, there are opportunities to ask many of our speakers questions during live question and answer periods, which will occur at the end of each livestream session and at specified times for the on-demand presentations. We encourage you to take advantage of these important opportunities to network and socialize with your anthrozoology colleagues. We hope that you enjoy the conference! The ISAZ 2021 Local Organizers. Christy Hoffman Malini Suchak Canisius College, Canisius College Buffalo, NY USA Buffalo NY, USA 2 Message from the President Greetings! On behalf of the International Society for Anthrozoology (ISAZ), it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 30th annual ISAZ conference. What a year it has been! While I am sorry not to see you all in person, we wanted to continue to bring you the latest research in anthrozoology and we hope that our second virtual conference will allow for more people to participate. I would like to start by acknowledging all the help and support that made this conference possible. First, I need to recognize Drs. Christy Hoffman and Malini Suchak, our local conference hosts at Canisius College, for their dedication, organization, and vision in putting on this event. I would also like to thank Patricia Pendry, the ISAZ President-Elect, who worked closely with the local host committee on all aspects of the programming, and Abbey Thigpen, the ISAZ Administrative Manager, for her tireless work supporting this conference as well as all of the other many activities of our organization. Second, I would like to recognize other members of the ISAZ Board for their leadership efforts relating to this conference, including Lee Zasloff (Programs Officer), John-Tyler Binfet (Secretary for Development), Megan Mueller (Treasurer), and Matt Chin (Chair of the ISAZ Awards Committee). We are also exceptionally grateful to Emma Grigg (Secretary for Communications) and Kerri Rodriguez (ISAZ Student Board Member) for their outstanding use of social media to promote this event. Third, I would like to thank this year's conference sponsors: Purina, Mars-Waltham, Zoetis, ASPCA, Human Animal Bond Association (HABA), Building Academic Retention through K9s (BARK), Pet Partners, and the Routledge Taylor-Francis Group. Our annual conference would not be possible without their generous financial support and each of these organizations shares our vision of promoting the well-being of both humans and animals through dissemination of scholarly work in anthrozoology. This year we have two presentations by ISAZ awardees: Dr. James Serpell, the 2021 ISAZ Distinguished Anthrozoologist, and Dr. Karin Hediger, the 2020 ISAZ Early Career Scholar. We hope you will Join us “live” for these exciting talks. We are also hosting a Meet the Leaders social event, sponsored by Mars- Waltham, where conference delegates can meet some of the current ISAZ Board
