In this lively presentation world-renowned animal behaviorist and author Dr. Marc Bekoff will combine his essays and innovative
research with what is known to scientists about the emotional world of animals. He is
sure to amuse attendees with his unique observations of play and
friendships among animals ranging from dogs and cats to dolphins and pigs, ultimately challenging
the idea that science and the ethical treatment of animals are
incompatible.
Bekoff is esteemed for his work in cognitive ethology (the study of
animal minds), behavioral ecology, and animal behavior. He has published
18 books and has been featured on 48 Hours, Animal Planet, and the
Discovery Channel, as well as in Time, and National Geographic. Bekoff
is a professor of biology at the University of Colorado and a co-founder
with Jane Goodall of Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
This
is a free event, open to the public. It will be followed by an
all-vegan catered reception and a chance to interact one-on-one with
Bekoff. Academics, animal lovers, and anyone looking for
a relaxing, fun filled evening is invited to the event.
