Humans are one among many, many other animal species, but humans have tended to see ourselves as separate from the others. How divorced are we from other species? How related? How do our representations of different species differ? Based on what? What are our responsibilities to them? How might we best manage our overlapping needs? These and other questions will be addressed in this advanced seminar on human's relationships to other animals through readings from multiple perspectives, e.g., psychology, philosophy, anthropology, literature.Prerequisites: 3rd or 4th year status with some grounding in fields/topics (see above) you think will bring power to discussions.
