    3.00 Credits
    Notre Dame de Namur University

    Using both sociological and psychological perspectives, this course explores the unique social relationship that humans share with other animals along with the implications of this bond. Focus is not directed at animals per se, but at the mutual impact humans and animals have on each other both micro- and macroscopically. The human-animal bond is examined historically and culturally within the context of such social systems as the family, economics, politics, religion, science, health, and recreation. The social construction of our attitudes toward other animals is studied and the role of animal domination in maintaining racism, sexism, ageism, and social class privilege is probed. Attention is given to advocacy techniques for promoting animal welfare and animal-related professions for sociology and psychology majors.
