Animal Studies is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field that draws from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to examine what nonhuman animals are like, how human and nonhuman animals relate to each other, and the aesthetic, moral, social, political, economic, and ecological significance of these relations. The aim of the Animals in Context series is to showcase cutting edge scholarship of broad interest that will guide the conversation in this emergent field, with an emphasis on readability, theoretical creativity, and empirical rigor. We welcome original monographs that take up “the animal question” across a broad range of themes (e.g., animal ethics and rights, representations of animals in culture and literature), though we are especially interested in books anchored in social scientific and philosophical methods and that will foster connections between animal and environmental issues (e.g., animal agriculture, urban wildlife, conservation).
