HIST-133 The Animal Other: Humans, Animals, and the Birth of Modernity
A historical exploration of human relationships with other animals from antiquity to the present. Changing ideas and practices in global modernity have renegotiated human relations with the natural world, transforming hunting, slaughter, husbandry, scientific experimentation, display, and pet-keeping. Through primary source analysis and experiential learning, the course considers changing ideas of animal agency, the sciences of zoology, animal behavior, ecology, and moral obligations to non-human animals.
