Humans, Robots & Cats with Lynn de Rijk | In a Nutshell

How advanced are robots? Why do we communicate differently with them than with humans? And why are cats, in the end, perhaps the better companions than robots? In today’s episode, Antonia talks with Lynn de Rijk about how we communicate with beings that aren’t human, or, differently put: how we communicate with cats and robots. And why that is sometimes anything but straight-forward. Lynn talks about her research at the cat café in Nijmegen and Amazon robots that have already ceased to exist before they even hit the consumer market. Lynn de Rijk is a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Arts and part of the Centre for Language Studies. They investigate how humans attribute meaning to non-verbal conduct – especially between humans and non-humans. Would you like to learn more about communication between humans, cats, robots and others? Then follow Lynn’s suggestion and have a look at the books Ways of Being by James Bridle and Animal Languages by Eva Meijer. Edit: Jara Majerus Cover: Antonia Leise

Rethinking Wildlife Management: Living With Wild Animals

Worldwide conflicts between humans and wild animals continue to increase. These conflicts are inherently complex. Cohabitation between humans and wild animals is discussed as a suggested alternative to intense control of wild animals. The emphasis is on the ‘co’ in co-habitation, reflecting the mutuality involved in human-wild animal interactions. The video highlights the most important findings based on two case studies: black bear management and wild boar management.

Nature’s Call for Change with Marjolein Oele | In a Nutshell

Do we need to treat nature differently? How can philosophy help us do so? And what makes documentaries about cats a good starting point? In this week’s episode, Jara explores nature. More specifically, she investigates how humans relate to nature, why we like to see ourselves as separate from it, and why we treat nature the way we do. As always, she does so with an expert guest. For this episode, Marjolein Oele joins the podcast to offer insights and explanations on why humans and nature might not be so different after all. Marjolein is a professor in the Humanities at the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology, and Religion at Radboud University. One of her many interests is environmental philosophy, which examines the natural environment and the place humans occupy within it. If you want to follow this train of thought and explore the human-nature relationship further, take Marjolein’s advice and watch the documentary Inside the Mind of a Cat.
