Domesticated over 10,500 years ago, cows are currently found in every country across the globe yet there is still much to learn about their varied histories, geographies, and lives. Part of the reason for this is a lack of soft infrastructure for scholars to connect with each other across institutional and disciplinary boundaries. This network aims to gather researchers who have an interest in broader ‘bovine scholarship’ and more specific ‘cow scholarship’ to share, learn, and engage in knowledge creation with one another.
Network Founders: Claudia Hirtenfelder (17ch38@queensu.ca) and Andrea Petitt (andrea.petitt@gender.uu.se).

Call for Presenters and Participants for the 2nd Bovine Scholarship Workshop
After the success of our first Bovine Scholarship Workshop in October 2021, we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a second Bovine Scholarship Workshop from the 30-31st of March 2022.
After good feedback from our first workshop we have decided to keep the numbers fairly small and to ensure that there is ample time for discussion of ideas.
The workshop will be held over two afternoons (13:00-17:00 CET) on the 30th and 31st of March 2022. There are limited spaces to present and attend the workshop. If you are interested in presenting your application should include: a 200-250 word abstract, a 150 word bio, affiliation and email address. Please note that you do not need to have an affiliated paper with your abstract and that works in progress are welcome. If you are only interested in participating (but not presenting) and this is your first time applying to a Bovine Scholarship Workshop your application should include: a 200-250 word motivation for why you would like to attend and what your interests in bovine scholarship are, a 150 word bio, affiliation, and email address. The deadline for all applications is 28 January 2022.
