| Call for Nominations
for the Center for Respect of Life and Environment (View course award winners 1999-2006) The Center for Respect of Life and Environment (CRLE) and The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) are currently accepting nominations from college and university faculty members for the 2007 Animals and Society Course Awards. The awards recognize academic excellence in the design and delivery of courses that address issues such as the interaction between humans and animals, human obligations toward animals and perspectives on the status of animals. The awards are intended to help foster the availability of high quality instruction in a wide variety of relevant academic fields, such as animal science, anthropology, archeology, art, biology, communications, culture studies, education, environmental studies, ethology (the science of animal behavior), history, law, literature, medicine, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, sociology, and veterinary medicine. Each year, CRLE and HSUS recognize three types of college and university undergraduate and graduate courses worldwide: 1) an established A&S course currently being taught at an institution, 2) a new A&S course scheduled for instruction, and 3) an innovative or short A&S course that does not fully fit the established course award criteria. The established and new course awards are $1,500 each, and the innovative or short course award is $500. Awards are given to the institution and the institutional department in which the course is taught. The innovative course award was instituted in 2003 to recognize courses that, for example: a) bring the study of animals
and society into new arenas, where these issues were not previously addressed, Nominees may apply for one or more of the awards. To nominate a course for the award, follow the instructions below. No special forms are necessary. Nominations must include: •
a letter of recommendation from the relevant department chairperson •
