This episode of Knowing Animals comes to you from Wesleyan University in the USA. I am attending the Animals & Society Institute's Animal Studies conference.

In this episode I speak to Margo DeMello about the book she edited called 'Mourning Animals: rituals and practices surrounding animal death' which was published by Michigan State University Press in 2016.

This episode of Knowing Animals is brought to you by the Australasian Animal Studies Association (AASA). AASA represents you so join today: http://animalstudies.org.au.

This episode was recorded with other (noisy) people in the room. The strange noises you hear in the background should be ignored. Sorry!!!!!!
