The event is convened by Professor Pru Hobson-West and Dr Alistair Anderson (SSP) and Professor Kate Millar (School of Biosciences), and includes a wide range of national and international speakers.

The aim of the event is to explore the evolution and contemporary significance of veterinary expertise, discuss how this knowledge becomes contested, and identify ethical challenges.
