Some of her earliest research  dates back to 1996, studying birds in Birth of an ethological theory:  the dance of the flaked craterop and then undertaking a thesis on  emotions that would become the subject of two books, The emotions that  make us. Ethnopsychology of authenticity and When the wolf lives with  the lamb. She was the scientific curator of the exhibition Bêtes et  Hommes (Beasts and Men) at the Grande Halle de la Villette in Paris in  2007. Other publications include To Be Stupid, co-written with Jocelyne  Porcher, The story makers with Isabelle Stengers; Thinking like a rat;  What would animals say if they were asked the right questions? and The  Happiness of the dead, Stories of those who remain. A children's book,  The home of animals, announces her interest in the question of territory  and habitats, which she also deals with in her latest book, Living as a  bird. The common thread that drives her research is the question of  good research devices: how do we (or do we not) manage to make living  things interesting? How does research enrich the situation it is trying  to describe?  Learn more about the festival at: http://www.naturethroughhereyes.com.
