<br>THEME & TOPICS
<br>This year's conference theme is ‘embodied dialogues’. Although
<br>specifically
<br>focussed, the theme is very broad in the connections that can be made from
<br>multiple angles, in order to encourage engagement with and contributions to
<br>the conference from a wide range of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary
<br>perspectives. Submissions that relate to this year's conference theme are
<br>especially welcome, but high quality submissions are welcome regardless.
<br>Topics may include (but are not limited to):
<br>
<br> - support interspecies communication
<br> - improve humans’ understanding of other animals and their needs
<br> - enable humans to take better care of other animals
<br> - support animals in activities they do for humans
<br> - reduce interspecies conflicts and the impact of human activity on
<br> animals
<br> - foster ecologically and ethically sustainable forms of interspecies
<br> interaction and cohabitation.
<br> - studying and theorizing the interaction between animals and technology
<br> in naturalistic settings
<br> - developing user-centered technology to improve animals’ welfare,
<br> support animals' activities and foster interspecies relationships
<br> - informing animal-centered approaches that enable animals to
<br> participate in the design process as stakeholders and contributors.
