How our definition of animal rights has evolved through history
In short: Explore the shifting boundaries between human and non-human life in this lecture by historian Joanna Bourke, which traces the intellectual journey from early-modern concepts to modern liberationist movements.
In this Gresham College lecture, Visiting Professor of History Joanna Bourke examines the changing relationship between humans and animals. The presentation moves from early-modern understandings of what constitutes 'animal' and 'human' life to the historical rise of animal rights.
The discussion further investigates how late twentieth and early twenty-first century perspectives on evolution, the Great Apes, and ecology have shaped contemporary liberationist thought.
