Intensive graduate seminar: Animals, Culture, Environment

The intensive graduate seminar "Animals, Culture, Environment", scheduled for April 6-8, has been launched. More specifically, there is a CFP due February 28th. The seminar is part of the Graduate School of Culture Studies and Arts, a joint venture of four Estonian universities; Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, University of Tartu, Tallinn University, and Estonian Academy of Arts.

Animals, Culture, Environment will be organized in the framework of the international conference Zoosemiotics and Animal Representations. Included in the graduate course are the plenary speeches of Jesper Hoffmeyer, Graham Huggan and David Rothenberg, and the three roundtables of the conference (including Futures of Zoosemiotics, chaired by me). In addition there will be teaching by Elena Grigorjeva and Aleksei Turovski.

There's room for 20 doctoral students.
