SOC-3401 Animals in Society

Add to My Courses

This course examines the relationship between humans and non-human animals, looking at the historical development of this relationship and various theoretical approaches to it. Through an examination of ideas such as anthropocentrism, it looks at the social construction of animals, the ways in which they are symbolically transformed, presented, and represented as part of human culture, through a human lens. Students may also be interested in SOC-3402, which covers different material.
