This workshop will bring together insights derived from the IAS major project, which has brought together scholars from across disciplines. The workshop will bring the project team together with a wider group of scholars to discuss the key themes that have emerged over the course of the project – with the specific aim of turning these into research questions, and research methods, that will lie at the heart of a through follow-on application for external funding.
Cattle lie at the intersection of multiple, distributed, strategies for securing the future. They are an everyday resource in livelihood strategies; a target of bio-security interventions informed by contemporary One Health approaches; a way to build and reaffirm horizontal social ties; an investment opportunity for those who seek to accumulate – and they are the centre of an enduring aesthetic which valorises them as things of beauty as well as cultural and economic resources. This IAS project explores those multiple kinds of interest, which will lie at the heart of the follow-on project.
Attendance is open to all, however to manage numbers, please register at this link by Monday 6th March, or contact Justin.Willis@durham.ac.uk
