A warm welcome to our new academic Visitors

Our Centre is delighted to host two academic Visitors during Lent Term: Carolina Leiva Ilabaca and Katharina Braun. Carolina is a lawyer and PhD candidate in Law at the University of Chile and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Her research at our Centre will be focused on examining different approaches to the concept of subjecthood, with the aim of a possible ascription of subjective rights to non-human animals. Katharina is a PhD candidate in Law at Freie Universität Berlin. During her visit at our Centre, Katharina will be examining whether the concept of consent can be employed to distinguish between permissible and impermissible human-animal interactions such as in the context of animal farming and animal testing. You can view their full research profiles here. Our Visitors will also present their research in the Talking Animals, Law & Philosophy series.
