Lecture "What is it like to be an animal?" held at Dyreetikkonferansen 2024; panel discussion participation

Today I have taken part in Dyreetikkonferansen 2024 (The Norwegian Animal Ethics Conference 2024), which took place at Litteraturhuset in Oslo and had the theme «Er du bevisst dyrs bevissthet?» (Are you conscious of animals´ consciousness?). Before lunch, I gave the talk «Hvordan er det å være et dyr?» (What is it like to be an animal?), with some 100 people attending in person and about 30 people online.

After lunch I took part in a panel debate on the conference theme and what implications it has in practice, along with Hilde Buer (sheep farmer and author), Ragnhild Aven Svalheim (NOFIMA), Eline Åsbjer (SLU) and Themis Altintzoglou (NOFIMA). Cecilie Mejdell was chair. Maybe 50 people attended in person at this point, and maybe 30 online.
