AASA Conference 2017 - UPDATE Draft program out soon! Keep watching the website http://aasa2017.com.au/ The AASA 2017 Conference in Adelaide is getting closer! We are very excited to be hosting this amazing event. Details of each day are being refined and are pleased to confirm: Sunday 2nd July – Reception including Val Plumwood Memorial Lecture The conference will kick off with the welcome reception Sunday afternoon (4-5pm) when Professor Fiona Probyn-Rapsey will deliver the Val Plumwood Memorial Lecture: “The cultural politics of eradication”. First Plenary Art Panel in Conference History Monday will include, a first for an AASA conference, an art panel of international and Australian artists and academics discussing how animal and human life intersect in the arts. In addition there are concurrent sessions focussed on art with a special performance on the last day. Monday 3rd July - Monday will have a focus on pets, domesticated animals, health and wellness, horses, and sport. KEYNOTE James Serpell – leading expert on the human: animal intersection Professor James Serpell from the University of Pennsylvania is our morning keynote speaker. Author of “In the Company of Animals: A Study of Human-Animal Relationships” and editor of two editions of “The Domestic Dog: Its Evolution, Behavior and Interactions with People” Professor Serpell is internationally known for his work regarding domestic animals. Adelaide Premier of “Baxter and Me”. Meet the Director too! On Monday evening a special screening of the film “Baxter and Me” will be showing (ticketed). Baxter and Me recounts Gillian Leahys relationship with her four-leGGed friends, whilst she lives throuGh some of the most dramatic post-war chanGes to the social-political milieu of Australia. This politically inflected work draws viewers in to consider how love for our pets could act as a foundation to care and empathize with other non- human animals. The film won best documentary script at the prestigious 49th Australia Writers Guild Awards in Animail: April 2017 3 2016. The film will be followed by Q&A with the director, Associate Professor Gillian Leahy, University of Technology Sydney. Janette YounG – co-convenor for AASA2017. High Art and Animal Life Intersect: Changes to AASA Art Events This year there has been an unprecedented amount of high quality submissions for the Australasian Animal Studies Association’s art exhibition from the nation and around the world. Victor Krawczyk and Caroline Adams, curators and event officers for the Adelaide conference, decided that it was essential for there to be two sites to exhibit the work. Details about the new gallery sites will be made available on the conference website very soon. Several works will now be displayed at the Peanut Gallery, an intimate viewing space located in the historic Adelaide Arcade. Scotsman, Ronald Binne’s work called Pan Celebritas will be on display there, it is a collection of finely executed graphite portraits of famous 20th century chimpanzees. Binne says that ‘the drawings play on ideas of celebrity culture and species difference as well as human cultural tropes around dystopian scenarios in popular culture of the usurping of traditional species hierarchy that positions the human at the top’. Another artist to feature work at the Peanut is South Australian artist and writer, Stephanie Radok. Her work has increasingly become ‘concerned with the connection and recognition between animals and humans’ and this has been realised in her magnificent woodcuts of Australian Fauna, Once were neighbours (Series 1). At Nexus Arts, there will be a commissioned performance and moving-image exhibition at the conference closing. A Dutch artist based in the UK, Demelza Kooij, has created a stunning short film that will feature in the moving-image exhibition and performance entitled, Wolves, A Bird’s Eye View. Using drone technology to capture unique shots of wolves, Kooij produces a short film that goes against the grain of traditional wildlife documentaries, where she says, ‘the tranquil silence draws the spectator in and allows the viewer to discover the wolf anew’. Animail: April 2017 4 This year’s art events are set to be the most ambitious ever executed for AASA, and surely shows that the Adelaide Conference Organizing Committee has heard the call to create public events that act as bridges between the conference proper and local community. For details on the art events please contact Mr Victor J Krawczyk [email protected] and Dr Caroline Adams, and [email protected] TOP LEFT: Ronald Binne, Pan Celebritas - Nim Chimpsky, graphite drawing on paper.

Member Profiles Compiled by Rick De Vos, Membership Secretary. Zoei Sutton As I write this profile, a small furry paw pats at my arm, followed by a sigh and this face. Most nights we go through the same ritual, beginning with the above ‘stop typing and play with me’ face, and usually ending with a subtle nudging of the offending laptop onto the floor. Suffice to say Mollini does not appreciate my work habits. The irony of avoiding her requests while I work on my thesis is not lost on me— my doctoral research examines the construction and navigation of human-companion animal relationships, particularly how and to what extent they allow for nonhuman animal agency. I have gravitated towards animals and animal issues as long as I can remember. I grew up with many companion animals, in a family that took on any animal that needed a home— from kittens found in gutters to birds retrieved from busy roads, and many more along the way. I became vegetarian in my teenage years, volunteered at a local animal shelter and worked in a grooming salon, picking up dog walking and pet sitting on the side. I loved getting to know so many animals and much preferred Animail: April 2017 5 anything animal related to my other, human-centric jobs. I was also fascinated by the many different forms of human-companion animal relationships I was able to observe. Although most owners talk about their companion animals using similar language— part of the family, loved, spoiled— I was struck by how often our nonhuman clients suffered from what seemed to be an accepted amount of neglect. Untreated skin disorders, extreme matting, infrequent bathing and anxiety and behavioural issues were often laughed off or blamed on the animal. I was shocked by how often we saw clients like this in the grooming salon— these were not the rejected animals at the shelter, or animals being taken away from their living situation. These were the apparently ‘loved’ ‘members of the family’ who would often be sent home only to be returned in a similar state in future. This is perhaps when I started to think more critically about our relationships with companion animals. I arrived at university with the intention of attaining a Law/Arts double degree in order to become a legal advocate for nonhuman animals. However I quickly found that it was Sociology that offered me more opportunities to think critically and systematically about our relationships with animals. In my third year I took an Animal Sociology course which exposed me to a whole new field of literature— one in which animals were central, explicitly discussed, rather than having to be worked into whatever theory or essay I was engaged in at the time. I became vegan and found it curious that in many community vegan groups, companion animal relationships were often not subject to the same blanket condemnation applied to all other forms of animal use. Since then I have endeavoured to seek out and conduct research that critically engages with these relationships. My Honours thesis explored the disposability of companion animals, and my PhD research (conducted under the supervision of A/Prof Nik Taylor and Dr Heather Fraser) seeks to build upon this by considering the lived experience of human-companion animal relationships.

This information should not be used as a substitute or replacement for advice, diagnosis or treatment from your healthcare provider. AFRICAN AMERICAN VEGAN STARTER GUIDE Welcome I’m Tracye McQuirter, public health nutritionist, author and vegan for 30 years, and it’s my pleasure to welcome you to the African American Vegan Starter Guide, where we show you sim- ple ways to begin a plant-based lifestyle. So if you’ve been thinking about going vegan, congratulations! It can be one of the most life-changing decisions you’ll ever make. And in this guide, we’ll help you get there. I’m joined by some of my expert colleagues in the plant-based field to answer your most common questions about how to transition to vegan food. With everything from why to do it, what to eat, how to get all the nutrients you need, how to make it affordable and delicious, how to eat out and socialize as a vegan and how to raise vegan children—we’ve got you covered. We know going vegan can seem challenging, but don’t worry. We’ve been there. In fact, in my case, I never thought I’d be a vegan. Growing up, I actually hated healthy food, especially vegetables. In 7th grade at Sidwell Friends School, I even wrote a petition against two of my teachers who wanted to make our class camping trip all-vegetarian.

Other scholars suggest that the “discipline” is a couple of decades old (DeMello 2012).
