SUMMARY:Hot Topics | Animal Storytelling

In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session\, “Animal Storytelling\,” will be presented by Stephanie Hanes\, environmental journalist and VLGS Animal Law Media Fellow. \n\n\n\nReporting and writing about non-human animals creates unique challenges for journalists.

SUMMARY:Hot Topics | Someone
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for the Hot Topics in Environmental Law Summer Lecture Series\, brought to you by the Environmental Law Center at VLGS. The series is free and open to the public. In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session will be presented by Kristen Stilt from Harvard Law School and a VLGS Distinguished Animal Law Summer Scholar. \n\n\n\nAn assumed division between human and nonhuman animals (and most of nature) has long been baked into most of Western culture and law. As effects of the Anthropocene bring humans and animals in closer and more frequent contact\, increasingly in emergency and catastrophic situations\, we are beginning to see more signs of awareness that humans and animals are not only ecologically but profoundly interdependent—and that each animal should not be categorized something\, but as someone. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.
