This project attempts to address how Canadian texts and media portraying these kinds of entanglements are participants in a dialogue that situates human-animal relationships within a context of global pressures and trends that are being exerted on both human and non-human actors involved. Because the multispecies interactions that my work focusses on are largely reliant on physical and emotional connections, I plan to categorize barns and fields as physical \u2018contact zones\u2019, seasons and labour as authoritative forces, and touch as central to communication. Critically exploring animal-human relationships in this novel way demonstrates how representations of agricultural spaces can be investigated as places where coexistence, cooperation, violence, and love may all be simultaneously possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CONFERENCES<\/strong>:<br>\n&#8211; \u201cFrom Me, To You &amp; Back Again: Generosity, Self-Interest, and The Community in Thomas Deloney\u2019s <em>Jack of Newbury<\/em>.\u201d Department of English MA Colloquium, Carleton University, Ottawa, ON. 3 July. 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SERVICE<\/strong>:<br>\n&#8211; Committee Member, Department of English MA Colloquium, Department of English, Carleton University, 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20215,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Kelli","cu_people_last_name":"Knox","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[27],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-20214","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-phd-students"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"","cu_people_degree":"M.A., B.A. (Carleton University)","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"kelliknox@cmail.carleton.ca ","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kelli-knox-b56336123\/","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/20214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/20214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25421,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/20214\/revisions\/25421"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=20214"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=20214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
