Publication success for MA Anthrozoology students

MA Anthrozoology students publish on attribution of emotions toward animals in the UK, the dromedary in Australia, queer animals in Ireland, populations at tourism venues in Thailand and trophy animals in high fence hunting spaces in the US.

In just over a year, five MA Anthrozoology students have published articles based on the work they conducted during the MA AZ in high-standard peer-reviewed journals. Many congratulations to Sarah, Lucy, Eimear, Melani and Delphine for this very impressive achievement at this stage of their career:

While working on these publications, these five students have kept quite busy:

Sarah Crowley is conducting fieldwork on the social dimensions of wildlife management for her PhD at Exeter
Lucy McCrae is now working within an animal welfare charity
Eimear McLoughlin is preparing her PhD (Exeter) on visibility and concealment in Denmark slaughterhouses
Melani Nardone is preparing her PhD (Exeter) on dog relinquishment in Spain
Delphine Ronfot works closely with Thai NGOs and the Thai government to improve welfare standards of shelters and rescue centres including governmental wildlife confiscation facilities.
