Portugal Human Animal Relations Study Trip

Sunday, April 9, 2023 - 08:00 to Thursday, April 13, 2023 - 20:00

CL1009CCIFB2 Animal Rights & Wrongs
PY2091CCIFB2 Human-Animal Relationships


Enjoy authentic farm activities in Portugal by visiting local livestock farms run by small
producers. Our understanding of the animals around us has always played a role in ideas
of self and other and nature and culture. The ways we think about ourselves and the
animal world have always been informed by the search for distinctions between the wild
and domestic. From a base in the vibrant Portuguese city of Porto, 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 non-human
animals who live on them.
