Summary, in English
The year 2022 marked the 10th anniversary of the course Critical Animal Studies: Animals in Society, Culture and the Media at the Department of Communication and Media at Lund University. As the first initiative of its kind in Sweden, the course explores the shifting roles and positions of non-human animals in today’s complex societies. It aims to equip students with analytical tools to critically assess norms and structures that organise human-animal relations, along with their ethical, cultural, and social consequences.
What started as a one-course offering driven by an idea has evolved into a decade-long project of education and emancipation for non-human animals. This anthology stands as a testament to the course’s impact, aiming to extend the rich discussions, debates, and insights cultivated beyond the classroom walls.
This celebratory collection assembles writings from former students, instructors, and guest lecturers, delving into themes ranging from critical media analysis over activist strategies to pedagogical reflections. The anthology’s scope not only reflects the diverse facets of the course but also unveils the myriad, often subtle intersections between human-centered society and the lives of non-human animals.
The Lund Critical Animal Studies Collection
Critical animal studies (CAS) is a new and growing research field that since 2011 has been expanding in both research and education at Lund University. In February 2016 the Lund University Critical Animal Studies Network (LUCASN) was formed with the aim of supporting initiatives centering on education and research in CAS. The network runs the course Critical Animal Studies: Animals in Society, Culture and the Media, host a seminar series, research conferences, and are active in building networks of national and international scholars. This book series aims to further consolidating these initiatives and to act as a platform for future work in the field of CAS at Lund University.
Editors for the series: Tobias Linné, Jana Canavan, María R. Carreras,
