The third workshop was held at the Universty of Reading on Tuesday 10th November. The theme of this third session was 'Nurturance, husbandry and consumption' . The aim of the workshop was to explore what that ‘taking care of’ consists of, how ‘care’ relationships are constructed and performed, how they are intertwined and negotiated with other, often contradictory behaviours and practices (such as the culling or killing of formerly nurtured animals), and how notions of ‘care’ become translated and enacted through the food chain to impact upon individual choices at the point of product transformation, selling, acquisition and, ultimately consumption. Ultimately, we ask what are the effects of care and nurturance regarding animals on individual human behaviour. Speakers at the workshop included Rhoda Wilkie, Emma Roe, James Yates, Richard Bennett and Adrian Evans.
