“Animal Studies is a burgeoning sub-field of interdisciplinary academic inquiry, largely across the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences but also some branches of Life Sciences, that conducts qualitative inquiry about nonhuman animals and human–animal relations. Over the last 15 years or so, animal studies has seen a steady growth in terms of conferences, journal special issues, monograph and book-series publications, graduate research, masters and undergraduate courses and programmes.”

From http://sheffieldanimals.group.shef.ac.uk/

“Animal Studies is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field that draws from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to examine what nonhuman animals are like, how human and nonhuman animals relate to each other, and the aesthetic, moral, social, political, economic, and ecological significance of these relations.”
