Animal Law Centre of NALSAR University is organizing a Webinar Series on ‘Constructing Animals in the Law Personhood and Beyond‘.
About Animal Law Centre
Since its inception, the University has been home to vital conversations on law and justice. Staying in line with that NALSAR is now home to India’s first Animal Law Center in collaboration with HSI/India.
The Centre creates curriculums on animal welfare laws and develops and publishes research pertaining to animal welfare issues. It also conducts workshops on animal laws and animal welfare issues with judicial magistrates, animal welfare advocates, law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders in the government.
About the Webinar
After the success of our webinar series conducted in September 2022 on the theme “Aligning Perspectives in Animal Protection and Practice” from 1st-5th September 2022, the Animal Law Centre presents its third webinar week titled, “Constructing Animals in the Law Personhood and Beyond”, and fourth webinar week themed “Understanding Different Approaches to Animal Protection from Past to Present” from 16th to 18th March and 24th to 25th March, respectively.
This webinar series is meant to further the goals of the Animal Law Centre by contributing to the scholarship on the animal rights movement and to give insight through the sessions conducted that education or careers in the field of animal protection are existent, easily possible and enriching.
Our speakers are considered stalwarts in the field, with many years of experience in studying as well as practising animal protection through their extraordinary initiatives, pedagogy and authorship and well as expertise in the field.
