We intend to invite some authors to speak at the conference. We already have confirmed as speakers Anna Kelbakh who will be speaking about the influence of dog domestication on the evolution of human language in the neolithic, and our editor Gavin Fraser-Gosling speaking about 'The Dog in Ancient Egypt'.

Student Contribution Competition
The BJCS is offering the opportunity for students to submit an article for consideration for publication in the 2025 journal. Successful entrants will be invited to present their work at the Annual Conference on September 19th at the Marsham Court Hotel, Bournemouth.
The contribution should be a maximum of 1500 words and should be referenced in the Harvard style. The editing process will include necessary revisions, and adjustments to font style and size.
The theme of the 2025 journal is the interaction of humans and dogs throughout their shared past. This may include evolution, genetics, the dog throughout history and current research concerning the human-dog bond. The members of the canid family which can be discussed are the wolves and domestic dogs only, unless inclusion of other canid species is incidental to the overall discussion. There is otherwise no restriction on title. Articles should be submitted by midnight on 30th April 2025, in Word Doc and pdf format, by emailing them to info@britishjournalofcaninescience.co.uk
