ABIDE – Animal ABidings: recoverIng from DisastErs in more-than-human communities
Financed by the European Research Council, Grant agreement ID: 101043231
WELCOME TO THE HUB HUMAN-ANIMAL STUDIES
The HAS Hub@ICS-ULisboa aims at tackling the relations between human and non-human animals, looked at as a continuum between nature and culture, or naturecultures. Non-human animals are considered actors in full right, active and decisive in the co-production of the hybrid communities inhabited by both humans and non-humans.

ERC PROJECT ABIDE IS HIRING!
Deadline 20 October.
We are opening 2 post-doctoral fellowships and 2 doctoral fellowships to work directly with ABIDE’s PI Dr Verónica Policarpo.
The ABIDE project aims at exploring innovative, cutting edge, ways of knowing how can we learn from animals how to recover from catastrophic climate events, such as wildfires. Stemming from a ERC Consolidator Grant, from 2023 to 2028 we will explore multispecies approaches to disasters, in particular wildfires, in 3 countries: Australia, Brazil and Portugal. We are looking for highly motivated researchers, team players who are willing to cooperate and contribute to a collective, and with a particular interest in animals and their social lives. Openness to constant learning and theoretical, methodological and empirical challenges are also key, as you will work in a highly interdisciplinary team.
Three online sessions per year
THE POST-HUMAN ANIMAL
Webinar on Post-Humanism and Nonhuman Animals Coordination: Verónica Policarpo, ICS-ULisboa
Who is the Post-Human Animal? We don’t know yet! We have just begun becoming with each other, as we move fluidly through authors, texts, readings and spoken words. We first met each other, against all odds, during the pandemic summer of 2020, at Rosie Braidotti’s Summer School on Post-Human Knowledge.
NEXT SESSION:
monthly meetings
READING GROUP
Animal Wonder – Reading Group on Human-Animal Studies @ICS-ULisboa has as a main goal to map the field of Human-Animal Studies, both at an international and national level.
We discuss some of its fundamental works, beginning by the foundational ones, as well as more specific topics, as the discussion progresses.

Fronteiras XXI
The PI of the project CLAN, Verónica Policarpo, was on a tv show, from the RTP 3 channel, called “Fronteiras XXI”. This broadcast was entitled “Nós e os Animais” (Animals and US). In this session were covered multiple subjects, such as: the hierarchization of animals, the importance of institutions like zoos and aquariums for nature conservation, human-animal relationships, animals within the human family, animal law, animal care and the growing pet industry.
