Chicken Nuggets: A History of the World in 100 e.g.s

This event is organized by AHRC Large Grant ‘Cultural and Scientific Perceptions of Human Chicken Interactions’ as part of Being Human: A Festival of the Humanities

Human-chicken interactions are about much more than food.

Featuring researchers from the AHRC-funded Scientific and Cultural Perceptions of Human-Chicken Interactions project, this event highlights the centrality of animals in the human past and present, and how human-animal relationships have changed in recent history.

Taking over the Roman museum, research block, café and grounds of the Vindolanda Trust, researchers will present a day of activities exploring the place of chickens in human culture.

Talks, hands-on activities, and tasting sessions across the site will make clear the important role these creatures have for future human and animal health, well-being and environmental sustainability.
