What if the way we study animals reveals more about human bias than about the animals themselves?
Dr. Christine Webb is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies at New York University, where she is part of the Animal Studies programme. Her research explores the complex dynamics of animal social life and its implications for animal ethics and conservation. She investigates how animals manage social disruptions, the emotional states underlying these processes, and the cultural influences shaping them. Her work also critically examines how prevailing societal norms — particularly human exceptionalism — shape scientific understanding of the more-than-human world.
