Interdisciplinary Workshop: Entangled Lives

Humans have long relied on animals to survive and build societies, yet these entanglements—and their impact on human relationships—are often understudied. With current debates around the Anthropocene and shifts in Humanities and Social Sciences, it’s vital to include ecological perspectives in studying colonization, slavery, and asymmetrical dependencies.
The interdisciplinary workshop "Entangled Lives" will explore these dynamics, focusing on Indigenous experiences and diverse regions across the Americas.

Prof. Marcy Norton (University of Pennsylvania), author of "The Tame and the Wild," will deliver the keynote as part of the Joseph C. Miller Memorial Lecture Series.

We’ll discuss familiarization, embodied knowledge, dependency, and human-animal bonds shaped by local ecologies.
