Human-Animal Relations Study Trip

Sunday, March 3, 2024 - 08:00 to Thursday, March 7, 2024 - 20:00

CL1099CCIFB1 Animal Rights and Wrongs
PY2091CCIFB1 Human-Animal Relationships


Our understanding of the animals around us has always played a role in ideas of self and other and nature and culture, and the ways we think about ourselves, and the animal world have always been informed by the search for distinctions between the wild and the domestic. Enjoy authentic farm activities in Portugal by visiting local livestock farms run by small producers. From a base in the vibrant Portuguese capital
city of Lisbon, we will be exploring the relations between the urban and the rural and between the city and the agriculture on which it depends. By visiting local farms rearing a range of animals, we will be able to understand more about these working farms and the lives of the human and nonhuman animals that live on them.
