Through readings and film, we will focus on the issue of endangered animals, as well as the environmental impact and ethical issues arising from using animals as a source of food. We may also focus on human use of non-human animals as entertainment, companions, and scientific subjects. Active learning is a central feature of this course, experienced through discussions, pair/group work, presentations, and reflection papers. As a result of these activities, critical thinking skills will also be cultivated.
