Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject provides students with the knowledge and critical thinking skills required to analyse and address questions concerning how non-human animals can and might co-exist within modern human societies, in an informed, objective and unbiased manner. Throughout the subject, students are provided with a broad and critical overview of theories and methods of scientific inquiry as they apply to the study of human-animal relationships, with an emphasis on developing practical solutions to challenging social issues. Online learning materials are used to provide current information about animal issues, with tutorials providing opportunities for students to engage in discussion, debate and further analysis. PSY3HAR addresses La Trobe's Sustainability Thinking Essential. Sustainability Thinking includes thinking critically, and developing well-informed views, about questions concerning how non-human animals can and might co-exist within modern and future human societies.
