 ectedness. Birds fly in great swathes\, cheetahs in the San Diego Zoo are p
 aired up with dog companions\, rescued farm animals often form deep and las
 ting bonds\, and even many plants share nutrients through fungal networks. 
 In the case of humans\, interspecies connection has been shown to have nume
 rous positive impacts on wellbeing.</p><p>This workshop considers various a
 pplied philosophical questions prompted by interspecies social relationship
 s. The workshop will build on discussions in animal ethics\, political phil
 osophy\, and the broader social sciences to explore the meaning\, value and
  normativity of social relationships with nonhuman animals and the natural 
 world. Rather than setting us apart from nonhuman others\, our sociability 
 is something that might bring us closer together.</p><p>This is a pre-read 
 workshop. Brief paper presentations will be followed by 45-50 minutes of qu
 estions and discussion. As well as paper presentations\, the workshop will 
 include a roundtable discussion on Indigenous perspectives.</p><p>This is a
  hybrid event\, and participants may register to attend in-person or online
  over zoom. If registering to attend in-person\, please list any dietary or
  accessibility requirements.</p><p><strong>Speakers:<br /></strong>Cheryl A
