- IS: Animals and Us

Catalog description

Humans and non-human animals coexist in inextricable ways. This interdisciplinary seminar, encompassing perspectives from theology, ethics, and biology, will address the variety of ways humans interact with animals: as pets, food, entertainment, research subjects, workers, fellow inhabitants of our planet, and creatures in their own right. Disciplinary paradigms for relating to animals as well as ethical frameworks for advocating for animals will be explored and assessed.
