#28,5

Today I have had half an article writing day, with work done related to an article on migrant rights and living conditions which I co-write with Maren Sagvaag Retland. This is writing day #28,5 this Autumn (starting July 1st), and the first devoted to article projects.

#25,5

Today I have had half a writing day, with a meeting attended on an article on refugee issues and human rights, and some 300 words added to my chapter "A biosemiotic perspective on the human condition and the environmental crisis". I am also pondering a new co-written wolf-article.

Panel held on theme "Almost a human?" at documentary film festival "Human rights, human wrongs"

Yesterday evening I took part in a panel following screening of "Unlocking the cage" at Vega scene during the documentary film festival "Human rights, human wrongs" (Feb 24 - march 1). The event was titled "Nesten et menneske?" (Almost a human?) and focused on chimpanzees and other cognitively complex animals and whether these should have (more) legal rights. The panel also featured activist Siri Martinsen (leader of NOAH) and Alf Butenschøn Skre (senior advisor at Norwegian National Human Rights Institution - ENNHRI), and was chaired by journalist Anne Håskoll-Haugen. The event further featured author Alfred Fidjestøl presenting his book about the Norwegian chimpanzee Julius. Up to 50 people attended.
