Animals & Society Courses: A Growing Trend In Post-Secondary Education, Jonathan Balcombe Aug 2014

Animals & Society Courses: A Growing Trend In Post-Secondary Education, Jonathan Balcombe

Jonathan Balcombe, PhD

A survey of college courses addressing nonhuman animal ethics and welfare issues indicates that the presence of such courses has increased greatly since a prior survey was done in 1983. This paper provides titles and affiliations of 67 of 89 courses from the current Survey. These courses represent 15 academic fields, and a majority are entirely devoted to animal issues. The fields of animal science and philosophy are proportionally well represented compared with biology and wildlife-related fields. An estimated 5000 or more North American students are now receiving instruction in these issues each year. While the availability of courses in …

Increasing Student Engagement Through Animal Welfare Education And Service, Stephanie Itle-Clark

Stephanie Itle-Clark, EdD, CHES

Student engagement is for the most part driven by three factors, “underlying need for competence, the extent to which students experience membership in the school, and the authenticity” of the task they are given. Animal welfare education and correlated service‐learning can address all three of these factors. In addition, for the many students who have traditionally written‐off school and school sponsored functions, personal and authentic learning can assist in rebuilding trust in the educational system. Authentic learning built around animal welfare education and animal welfare topics that impact the real world or personal neighborhoods of students encourages brain growth and …


Humane Literacy And Formal Educators, Stephanie Itle-Clark Jun 2014

Humane Literacy And Formal Educators, Stephanie Itle-Clark

Stephanie Itle-Clark, EdD, CHES

Formal educators (those with formal education degrees versus informal educators who may work in shelters or nature centers) in the K-12 system are tasked with facilitating academic, character, and social and emotional learning in the classroom.

Based upon knowledge of state mandates involving humane education, the Humane Literacy Coalition (HLC) was …
