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.

FEATURED PROJECTS

ABIDE – Animal ABidings: recoverIng from DisastErs in more-than-human communities

Financed by the European Research Council, Grant agreement ID: 101043231

How and what can we learn from animals about disaster recovery? How can we listen to them on their own terms, translate their stories, and include their perspectives in human knowledge about disasters? This project explores the resilience of multi-species communities and their disaster recovery capacities from the perspective of non-human animals.
