Four PhD studentships are available on the anthropology, governance and
history of bird feeding, feed industries and zoo feeding, as part of a new
Wellcome Trust funded project, From ‘Feed The Birds’ to ‘Do Not Feed
the
Animals’? (DNFTA). DNFTA is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the
Departments of Archaeology and Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology at
the University of Exeter; University of Roehampton (Anthropology),
University of Reading (Geography and Environmental Science), and National
Museums of Scotland (Department of Natural Sciences). DNFTA is working
across disciplines - and with third sector partners - to investigate the
human fascination with feeding animals - and explore the consequences of
this feeding for the shared health of humans, other animals and wider
environments.
Our PhD studentships will be co-supervised across DNFTA staff. Two
projects will be located at Exeter: the first project, ‘Following Animal
Feed: Nutrition, regulation and industry’, will investigate the
contemporary governance of animal feed industries; while the second
project, ‘Feeding Time at the Zoo: From postwar to the present day’, will
investigate changing expertise and practices of animal feeding in zoos.

and zoo feeding available at the University of Roehampton.
