Funding of Norwegian HAS anthology granted

Yesterday I was informed that the Norwegian Human-Animal Studies anthology I am editing along with criminologists Ragnhild Sollund and Guri Larsen has been granted 30.000 NOK (approximately 3.850 Euro, or 5.370 USD) in support by Fritt Ord, The Freedom of Speech Foundation (Norway). The funding will go to the publisher, Spartacus. As happy as we are to have received this funding, we most likely still need to secure further funding to make the book project materialize. But this is a good start, and shows that the project is viable.

See also my previous post on this anthology. A revised book project description is due August 15.
