Call for Presentation Proposals for Faunalytics Research Day

Faunalytics will host a remote symposium for animal advocates on September 8, 2022 (tentatively 12pm-4pm EST). We invite academics and scientists from the social and behavioral sciences, or related disciplines, to submit a presentation abstract of original research that discusses the real-life implications and recommendations of such data for animal advocates in any of the four areas: farmed animals, companion animals, wild animals, and animals used in science. 

Examples of topics related to this theme include, but are not limited to, meat-reduction interventions, how people think about animals, barriers and challenges in transitioning to veganism, how to build coalitions with other social movements, how to influence policy-makers, how to transition to animal-free methods in science, the impact of outdoor cats on wildlife, how to improve adoption rates for shelter animals, and the impact of animal rights protests. 

Researchers will present their work orally in a 12-minute presentation, followed by a 3-minute Q&A. Depending on the number and content of submissions we receive, we may ask some presenters to be a part of a panel discussion instead, or to present their work in a virtual poster format. When you submit your proposal, you will have the option to opt out of these formats. 

Please submit your presentation proposal here by Sunday, July 10th, 2022
