SOCY-4017 : Animals and Society

Animals matter for human existence in so many ways that it is hard to imagine the entity we call “society” without them. They figure heavily in our language, food, clothing, family structure, economy, education, entertainment, science, and recreation. Animals and Society covers a range of topics, many of them controversial. Although this is a sociology course, the field of human-animal studies is interdisciplinary. Therefore, many of the readings come from areas other than sociology, but we will always emphasize their sociological relevance.
