In the early 2000s the field of Human-Animal Studies is
thriving in a variety of scholarly disciplines by members who are
interested in the human relationship to animals. In 2002 the American
Sociological Association recognized a new section devoted to
Human-Animal Studies (www.asanet.org/sectionanimals/). Members of the
American Psychological Association are petitioning for
a similar division. A book of readings from both disciplines has been
proposed by a social psychologist and a sociologist. The 10th
anniversary issues
of Society & Animals, published in 2002, include
contributions
from anthropology, the (representational) arts, consumer sociology,
criminology, economics, feminist studies, geography, history, political
science, postcolonial studies, psychology, religion, and sociology.
This reflects the academic interest of individuals and individual
course offerings, but not a growth in academic programs. The growth of
academic centers with special interest in human-animal studies is slow,
and they are generally, but not exclusively, attached to schools of
veterinary medicine. Notable exceptions among the
programs are two housed in a school of nursing (Michigan State University and University of Missouri, Columbia) and another
in a humanities program (University of California, Santa Barbara). Growth of
academic centers in Canada and the United Kingdom is
comparable.
This list of English language books and journals is
complementary to the contribution, "The Literature of the
Human-Companion
Animal Bond." To see it, see the PAN website.

Applied animal behavior science, also called applied ethology, is study
of the social behavior of animals, whether in farming systems,
confined, feral or commensal, used in hunting or sport, and in research
laboratories. A subset of applied ethology includes their interactions
with humans. AABS began published a significant amount of papers on
companion animals in the 1990s. Abstracts Plus are
available on its web site within www.sciencedirect.com.

Bibliography
Except for the bibliographic journal Humans &
Other Species, which covers only 1988-1999, this field is not well
served.
Human-Animal Studies is a multi-disciplinary field with many interested
researchers and observers, therefore individual areas of human
relations
with other animals (e.g., animal rights and ethics) and some species
(e.g.,
dolphin, rhinoceros) are served well, but many are not.
