CNX 124 - Animals Through the Ages

Description
This course examines the human-animal relationship from ancient through contemporary times by asking how animals and humans impact each other’s lives and how understanding animals enriches human awareness of our place in the natural world. Examples of topics include representations of animals in art, religion and myth, pets and companionship, menageries and collecting, and animals in sport, entertainment, and consumption. The course approach will be interdisciplinary, building broad research and critical thinking skills using methods of inquiry from humanities and the social and natural sciences.
