Join us for a conversational roundtable that is part of C21’s Lonely No More! Symposia.

In what ways does loneliness manifest for nonhuman animals and in the nonhuman world? How might we rethink loneliness and connection with nonhumans in mind? As we reimagine and reinvent kin, how do spaces for human-nonhuman connection grow and develop in the age of robots, machines, computers, and AI? This conversation will include the following experts:

Barbara J. King (William & Mary)
Kite aka Suzanne Kite (Concordia University)
Juno Salazar Parreñas (Cornell University)
Sonia Zhang (New School)
