Focuses on human-animal relationships in global history. Considers how animals have shaped the human past, as well as how humans have shaped animal lives, through interactions like hunting, husbandry, pet keeping, and conservation. In taking seriously the agency of nonhuman animals, students challenge notions of human superiority and decenters humans in historical narratives. Students learn to look for animals—as elusive as these may be—in the historical record and will come to understand human histories as embedded in ecological contexts. (TR)
