Relating to Animals Lecture Now Online

UNCA Ramsey Library Video Production has recently released the lecture,”Relating to Animals” featuring Dr. Ann Weber, UNCA Professor of Psychology – Emerita. “Relating to Animals” is an illustrated lecture, reviewing the many ways in which non-human and human species interact, with a particular focus on companion animals (pets). The focus is on relationships between our species and others; several slides depict less humane “uses” of animals, from “cultivation” and consumption to research. Though not a propaganda piece, “Relating to Animals” is nonetheless unapologetically tilted toward animal welfare: the many, even simple, strategies individual humans, institutions and policies can employ to be kinder, more intelligent, and more compassionate in our shared world.
