Introduktion
Kurtis Boyer is a doctoral candidate at the Department of Political Science, and holds a M.A. from the University of Northern British Columbia, and a B.A. from the University of Saskatchewan. Kurtis' research interests centre on the relationships that humans have with animals and how these, particularly those considered to be 'positive' or inclusive of the interest of the animal, become expressed in politics. His work at Lund examines how these relations - expressed through formal and informal intervention, from within pet pharmacology to wildlife conservation, relate to moral evaluative processes framed by individualised perceptions of the human self and the animal other. Kurtis' project "Poster and Production Animals: Examining the Political Manifestations of Anthropocentric Empathy" explores how human attachment towards some animals (and not others) relate to these individualised perceptions, and consequentially whether this sets limits to how animal "well-being" is defined in politics, and how intervention into the lives of animals becomes operationalised.
