About the Workshop
The Workshop will be given in English by Dr Sean Butler (Fellow, St Edmund’s College, Cambridge and Affiliated Lecturer, University of Cambridge) and Dr Raffael Fasel (Affiliated Lecturer, University of Cambridge), who together teach Animal Rights Law as part of the undergraduate Law degree at the University of Cambridge. Drs Butler and Fasel have also written the first textbook on Animal Rights Law (Hart Publishing 2023).
In the Workshop, Drs Butler and Fasel will share all the course materials from their Cambridge University course, discuss strategies of how to put together an Animal Rights Law syllabus, and look at what readings to include and how to involve students. Participants will develop their own Animal Rights Law course outline during the Workshop. In addition, a session on ‘Pedagogy of Animal Rights Law’ will be taught by an educational expert to support interactive teaching methods.
Participants of the Workshop will become members of the Animal Rights Law Teaching Network, a global community of animal rights law teachers. The community is a source for further resources (such as syllabi, powerpoints, and training sessions) and connections with other Animal Rights Law specialists.
