What do other than human animals mean to us, and what do we mean to them? How do we impact each other’s lives, for good or ill? And how can we teach our students about these topics in a way that is intellectually rigorous, yet also caring and respectful of the deep emotional ties many of us feel to animals?
In this workshop, four experienced instructors, each from a different discipline and all affiliated with TCU’s Human-Animal Relationships minor, will share a specific pedagogical practice they have used multiple times to successfully teach human-animal studies.
Each presenter will briefly describe their overall learning goals and specific details for each project, as well as lessons they have learned and changes they have made to the projects over time. Attendees will also be encouraged to share their own pedagogical practices for teaching human-animal studies, so that we can all learn from each other.
