TY - JOUR AU - Briscoe, Michael PY - 2019/09/05 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - SOC 4400/5400: Animals and Society JF - TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology JA - TRAILS VL - IS - SE - DO - UR - https://trails.asanet.org/article/view/soc-44005400-animals-and-society SP - AB - Animals are present in many aspects of human society: food (meat, dairy), clothing (leather, wool), family (pets), work (service animals), leisure (wildlife), and entertainment (media). Animals affect human society and are affected by it. In this course students will engage the foundational theoretical frameworks and methods used within sociology to study human-animal relationships. Intersectional approaches will require students to consider the connections of animals to broader sociological concepts like race, gender, class, crime, and the environment. Students will think critically about animals within their own lives and utilize sociological methods to answer a research question. ER -
