PSCI 373 Animal Politics 4.0 Credits

This course examines the politics of human-animal interactions. Human relationships with animals vary by time and place: the same species might be a pet at one time, a food at another, and somewhere else, a model organism for experimental research. Understanding those relationships, and why they change, can help elucidate what it means, ethically, politically, and biologically, to be human. Topics in this course include animal rights and experimentation, the livestock industry, animal intelligence, and environmental legislation.
