Human-Animal Studies Speakers Series
Learn more about human-animal studies program speakers series and upcoming lectures.
Each year the HAST program brings faculty, students, and community members together for a lecture series featuring world-renowned animal scholars and activists. These lectures (usually three per year) draw a mixed and lively audience of from fifty to one hundred fifty people. Past themes of the series have included the mental lives of farmed animals, shared human-animal experiences at the margins of society, and living at the wildlife-urban interface. The lectures are followed by Q and A time and informal conversations.
Students are given the opportunity to make personal connections with our lecturers at dinners and beyond. Past speakers have included marine biologist Lori Marino, animal ethologist Marc Bekoff, Farm Sanctuary founder Gene Baur, and ecofeminist author Carol J. Adams.
Coexistence with Native Predators
Thursday, March 27th
7:00 p.m. via Zoom
For more information, contact leilani_stelle@redlands.edu.
Join us on March 27th for a conversation with Sarah Killingsworth, Project Coyote Program Coordinator and wildlife conservation photographer, filmmaker and writer.
Sarah will share photos of California wildlife including coyotes and bobcats, as well as coexistence tips. With an emphasis on native predators, Sarah’s photography highlights unique behavior and intimate portraits. Increasingly, as human development expands and traditional habitats shrink, many of these species are living in closer proximity to humans. Sarah has spent years observing and documenting native predators in both suburban and wild environments and will share tales from the field as well as insights into how wildlife adapts to living in our midst and suggestions for coexistence with our wild neighbors.
