The aim of this workshop is to bridge the gap between theorists and experimentalists in philosophy and biology, clarify the various uses of the concept of agency in animal studies, and investigate its significance and applications in scientific and conservation contexts. Agency will serve as a focal point for addressing key questions related to both animal studies and their epistemology.
