What do animals think? Do they have emotions? Topics such as animal memory, numerosity, and communication, as well as more controversial topics such as animal emotions, morality, and empathy will be addressed in this course. We will explore the developments in both Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience,that are revealing fascinating insights into the animal mind. An underlying perspective of the course is the theme of how our perceptions of the cognitive abilities of animals shapes our expectations and relationships with them and how this, in turn, impacts on both the questions we ask and our animal welfare practices.

This course explores the relationships between humans and animals which have long been considered, represented and contested in a range of academic disciplines. Today the unprecedented species extinction, the effects of industrial farming, climate change, the proliferating scientific technologies and a host of other issues are provoking new questions and controversies about the survival and the ontological status of both humans and animals. Through a range of interdisciplinary material, the complex relations between humans and animals across history and cultures are explored with a focus on probing the nature of these relationships in the Anthropocene.

This elective modular course builds on fundamentals of interpersonal communications delivered in the core curriculum, including VCA 3140, Professional Foundations IV, in which students will be engaged concurrently. Distinguishing features of this course include use of existing written communications as a basis for exploring why certain client communications are more effective than others; analysis of in-person testimonials involving veterinarians and clients; minimal reliance on emulation or modeling and greater emphasis on errors to avoid; and a fundamentally student-driven approach. Successful completion of the course will contribute to an understanding of how good communications can improve the delivery of veterinary care. Five-week module with 3 hours of lecture per week. 06-01-2025-04-02-2025 Lecture Monday, Tuesday 09:30AM - 10:20AM, Atlantic Vet College, Room 201N (more)...
