The assistant professor of developmental science in the Onward Program this summer received first prize in the 1994 Jack Ward Film Competition for amateur and non-commercial films by the Animal Behavior Society. Her 20-minute film, Proceptivity Patterns in Captive Lowland Gorillas, Orangutans, and Celebes Macaques, was among the award winners in the Society’s 11th annual film festival that honors outstanding amateur and profes­ sional films portraying important concepts in animal behavior research and education. The film honors were not the first for Davis. A member of the Animal Behavior Society for more than a decade, she garnered semifinalist honors in 1991 for a film depicting proceptivity patterns in a variety of animals and birds. The Society promotes research, teaching and conservation at the university and college level. For her latest film, Davis concentrated on her research passion - primates, and developed a film that can be used in college course teaching. Her latest film that took top honors as the “outstanding, non­ Lee Davis Photo by Damon Kiesow commercial animal behavior film of the year,” is made up of footage shot by Davis while conducting animal behavior studies at the Jersey Zoo in the British Channel Islands, operated by the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust as a leading center for the Food and Nutrition Program breeding of rare and endangered species, and at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.

  • Hens Lay, People Lie: a Novel and an Exegesis
    HENS LAY, PEOPLE LIE A Novel and an Exegesis Beyond Epistolarity: The Warp, the Weft and the Loom Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Glenice Joy Whitting Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Higher Education, Lilydale 2012 Abstract This thesis is comprised of two components: 'Hens Lay, People Lie', a novel, and an exegesis, Beyond Epistolarity the Warp, the Weft and the Loom. Together they propose that 'creative epistolarity', namely imaginative writing with factual material, including personal letters, emails and journals, provides women with a safe space where knowledge can be intuited, articulated or performed. In this space, women find their own creative voice, write their stories and in turn, understand themselves. 'Hens Lay, People Lie' draws heavily on the epistolary genre but aims to move beyond that genre by using an auto/biographical and creative epistolary style better suited to reveal emotion and character. The novel illustrates that creative epistolarity intersects with feminism and postmodernism and is uniquely placed to empower women to write their stories. The exegesis discusses theories, methodologies, fictional techniques and creative decisions made during the writing of the novel. Key writerly choices are examined: the choice of an epistolary novel and the importance of creative epistolarity as a way of knowing the self as well as production of knowledge. The research process is practice-led research informed by personal correspondence and personal history in the autoethnographic mode. The exegesis presents a reflective examination of existing works in the genre of epistolary fiction and calls on the practices of exponents of the epistolary form such as Elizabeth Jolley, Nancy Turner and Lionel Shriver.

    “MENAGERIE TO ME / MY NEIGHBOR BE”: EXOTIC ANIMALS AND AMERICAN CONSCIENCE, 1840-1900 Leslie Jane McAbee A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Eliza Richards Timothy Marr Matthew Taylor Ruth Salvaggio Jane Thrailkill © 2018 Leslie Jane McAbee ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Leslie McAbee: “Menagerie to me / My Neighbor be”: Exotic Animals and American Conscience, 1840-1900 (Under the direction of Eliza Richards) Throughout the nineteenth century, large numbers of living “exotic” animals—elephants, lions, and tigers—circulated throughout the U.S. in traveling menageries, circuses, and later zoos as staples of popular entertainment and natural history education. In “Menagerie to me / My Neighbor be,” I study literary representations of these displaced and sensationalized animals, offering a new contribution to Americanist animal studies in literary scholarship, which has largely attended to the cultural impact of domesticated and native creatures. The field has not yet adequately addressed the influence that representations of foreign animals had on socio-cultural discourses, such as domesticity, social reform, and white supremacy. I examine how writers enlist exoticized animals to variously advance and disrupt the human-centered foundations of hierarchical thinking that underpinned nineteenth-century tenets of civilization, particularly the belief that Western culture acts as a progressive force in a comparatively barbaric world. Both well studied and lesser-known authors, however, find “exotic” animal figures to be wily for two seemingly contradictory reasons.

  • Reading Animals Has, of Course
    Reading Animals School of English, University of Sheffield 17-20 July, 2014 Conference Abstracts Keynote Speakers Opening Keynote: Thursday 17th July Susan McHugh, Read Dead: Hunting, Genocide, and Extinction Stories Several contemporary novels, including Linda Hogan’s People of the Whale (2009) and Robert Barclay’s Melal (2002), feature scenes of indigenous hunting of marine mammals gone spectacularly wrong: people are killed, animal deaths are unnecessarily prolonged, and all inhabit polluted landscapes. While in isolation the killings are often seen as exposing the cruelty or unsustainability of hunting animals such as whales and dolphins, reading them into literary history suggests that a more profound linkage of hunting with extinction and genocide stories is emerging. Whereas novels of the previous generation like Leslie Silko’s Ceremony (1986) and Witi Ihimaera’s The Whale Rider (1987) portrayed the native hunter as psychologically and culturally healed, respectively, by returning to a traditionally performed chase of or a modified traditional practice with animals, Hogan’s and Barclay’s hunters are set up to botch the ceremony, and the bloody mess that ensues exposes how the component that once marked the ideals of the hunt – namely, the ability for both hunter and hunted to escape any fixed script – goes missing, and in its stead emerges a cross-species politics of endangerment that concerns the limits of representing human-animal relations more generally and the importance of fiction to making them legible in particular. Susan McHugh is Professor of English and the University of New England, Maine. She is the author of books and essays including Animal Stories: Narrating Across Species Lines (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2011), and Dog (London: Reaktion Books Ltd, 2004); editorial board member of Antennae: The Journal of Nature in Visual Culture, and Humanimalia: A Journal of Human-Animal Interface Studies; Humanities Managing Editor of Society and Animals.
