    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.

  • PSYC 4810: Humans and Other Animals: Welfare and Emotions

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    Without specific intent, humans have affected every ecosystem on Earth, ecosystems upon which millions of other animals rely. What is our responsibility to these animals? Does it vary depending upon a species' cognitive abilities or custodial status? How should we treat domestic animals, companionanimals, research animals, wild animals? Is an animal "in the wild" if it's bounded on all sides by human encroachment? If we are responsible for other animals' welfare, how can we tell if they are faring well? In this advanced seminar we will consider the welfare of other animals in relation to humans frommultiple perspectives (psychology, biology, philosophy, neuroscience, anthropology, welfare) across a spectrum of categories (farm, companion, wild, research, zoo). Topics include the difficulties of defining welfare, of identifying emotions (especially in other species), and of acting in the absence of cleardefinitions and knowledge.Enrollment is limited to 15 advanced students.
