Note: Students must be admitted to the Honors Program to register for this class. The Science and Psychology of Interspecies Relationships: The Honors Course on the Science and Psychology of Interspecies Relationships reviews the anthropological, biological, and psychological theories that attempt to explain the evolution of the human-animal dynamic. Students will critically examine key scientific and psychological concepts such as genetic and morphological changes in animals (both naturally and artificially selected) and how those changes have affected human development and the progression of societies. The course will analyze contemporary global issues such as the consumption of animals and animal products for human use, ethical and moral questions around the genetic modification of animals for human benefit and the use of animals in research, as well as the science and psychology of the human-animal bond. Students will engage with contemporary texts written by anthropologists, psychologists and biologists, therefore fostering interdisciplinary dialogue. The course encourages students to think critically about the role of animals in shaping societies and individuals across time and the transformation of interspecies relationships. Through reflective writing and research, students will articulate their own ethical and moral stances on current discussions surrounding this complex relationship.
