Antrozoologi i praktiken

Det övergripande syftet med kursen är att fördjupa medvetenheten om djurs välfärd, och hur djur och människor påverkar varandra. Kursen har sin bas i den evolutionära bakgrunden till djurs behov. Hur människors attityder och beteende påverkar djur är en viktig del i den här kursen, och hur man kan förändra och förbättra interaktionen mellan djur och människor mer långsiktigt.


Detta är en distanskurs där största delen av lärandemomenten görs på distans, och rapporteras via plattformen Canvas. Vid tre tillfällen, fredag-söndag, sker träffar på universitetet och då kommer tiden att ägnas åt föreläsningar och diskussioner, samt redovisningar. Tanken är att träffarna ska ge mycket utbyte för deltagarna. Kursens innehåll består dessutom av reflektioner, praktiska övningar, och skriftligt projektarbete. Inom ramen för kursen ska studenterna träna sina generella kompetenser inom analys, reflektion och kritiskt förhållningssätt, samt muntlig och skriftlig kommunikation med andra människor.


Seminarier och praktiska övningar/studiebesök är obligatoriska.

Welcome!
Welcome to the course Anthrozoology in practice! My name is Maria Andersson and I will be the organiser of the course this very first time the course is given. The aim with this course is to give you the possibility to use earlier knowledge to develop your competence within the area of human and animal interactions, both scientifically and practically. Today we know a lot about the animals that live close to humans, and we know how to develop best management, housing and handling. However, still many animals lack the proper environment. In this course we will together analyse why that is, and how we can change that. The overall aim with the course is to achieve better animal welfare, and the course has its base in the evolutionary background of animals and humans. As a student in this course you will initiate discussions and debates descending from your own experience, and you will perform short surveys with people in your surrounding – which results will be discussed during the course. The first scheduled meeting will be the 19-20 th of Sept through the client Zoom. Go to: https://student.slu.se/en/sw-news/2020/3/new-tool-for-e-meetings-for-slu-students/ This means that you can attend the meeting from wherever you are. The first meeting we will together go through the course guidelines, and discuss the assignments included in the course. Before the first meeting, it is recommended to prepare these points: 1) Find three friends (not participating in the course) that can be your discussion partners during the course. Every meeting will include some practical parts where you should discuss with your friends. It will not be a very heavy job for them, more of being a reflection friend. And if you can’t find three, it is fine with one. 2) Ask one or two family members if they can participate in some short surveys on animals during the course. There will be some short surveys during the course, with the aim to discuss how people think about animals. 3) Later in the course you will perform an assignment where you should compare different views and you will be asked to 1) talk to a vet, 2) talk to a teacher, 3) talk to a child. It can be good to prepare this already in the beginning. 4) Last but not least, to prepare for the first meeting you should write a short reflection on why you are attending this course, who you are/your background, and what you think to achieve during this course. I am really looking forward to meet you the 19 of Sept, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions before on email: maria.andersson@slu.se Best wishes Maria.

Welcome to the course - Anthrozoology in practice! Here you can find information about dates, and content in the course! We are looking forward to see you!
The aim with this course is to give the students the possibility to use earlier knowledge to develop their competence within the area of human and animal interactions, both scientifically and practically. Overall information: • The course is open for foreign students, and will therefore be held in English. • The course leader is Maria Andersson, maria.andersson@slu.se • Make sure you plan the dates for the meeting dates: 19-20 Sept (2020), 14-15 Nov (2020), 16-17 Jan (2021). Anthrozoology is the science of human-animal interactions. It includes the scientific areas of both biology and the social sciences. The aim of this course is to increase the scientific knowledge in concerning human and animal interactions, as well as awareness of the consequences of these interactions. The target group is all professionals who work with animals on a daily basis. In the course, students will discuss how attitudes affect handling of animals, and consequently the welfare of animals, as well as how working environments may be improved for both humans and animals. The overall aim is to achieve better animal welfare and safer working environments. The course has its base in the evolutionary background of animals and humans. The basic behavioural needs of animals must be fulfilled by management and husbandry routines to not cause suffering. A profound knowledge of how human behaviour and actions affect animals is necessary as well as knowledge about how behaviour may be changed long term. In the course, students also practice generic skills such as reflection and critical thinking. This is a distance course where the main part is done on the learning platform Canvas. However, at three occasions there will be lectures and discussions at the SLU campus. These meetings are scheduled Saturdays-Sundays. The aim with the meetings is to exchange ideas, listen to each other’s views, and to reflect together with peer students and teachers. The course content is made up of web-based lectures, videos, discussions, reflections, practical exercises and written projects. Students have to attend two out of three meetings during the course. Prerequisite: Bachelor in biology, animal science, veterinary medicine, veterinary nursing, hippology or in agricultural science, including 30 ECTS in zoology.
