Re: Animal-Human Communication CFP

Hi Emily, It was good seeing you at NCA, and thanks for sending this cfp. The book project sounds excellent. I've forwarded your call to my student, Jakie Harvey, whose project I mentioned to you at NCA (animal standpoint theory). I suggested to Jackie that she and I can talk more after I've seen the version of her paper that she's doing for my class, which will be done in early December.
