In 2008, Lantern published Social Creatures, an encyclopaedic collection of articles from the new and exciting disciple of Human-Animal Studies. TEACHING THE ANIMAL is a followup collection of original pieces that discuss in detail the challenges and opportunities for all teachers of H.A.S. Split into three sections, TEACHING THE ANIMAL provides in-depth analysis of the nature of the discipline, the resources available, expectations of students and faculty and a number of sample curricula in the fields of humanities, social sciences and the natural sciences. TEACHING THE ANIMAL promises to be the definitive handbook for all teachers of Human-Animal Studies at both undergraduate and graduate levels. It, also, offers a comprehensive overview of the state of the disciplines in question, as well as the philosophical and practical issues involved in discussing the intersections of human and nonhuman animals in society.
