Animal Welfare, Department of Psychology
Instructor: Pauleen Bennett,
Ph.D.
[email protected]
Summary: I started and still coordinate Australia's first postgrad degree
in Animal Welfare, which is offered at the graduate certificate level. It consists
of four units and particularly focuses
on human-animal interactions rather
than other aspects of animal welfare. Information about the course can be obtained
from:
http://www.med.monash.edu.au/spppm/pgrad/aw-info.html
I also supervise quite a large group of postgrad students (about 10 at
any given time) working in the area of human-animal interactions. Our research
group website is at:
http://www.med.monash.edu.au/spppm/research/carg/
I believe my group is the first group of its type in Australia, so any help
to develop international links would be terrific. Note that my Graduate Certificate
in Animal Welfare course is offered completely through distance education. At
the moment it is only available to Australian students but we are currently negotiating
with a major US university to offer some of the units over there.
Monash University
is one of Australia's leading universities (in the top 8) and has a strong focus
on international education, which has allowed me to develop really good quality
teaching resources. We use an online learning platform (password protected) to
engage students in weekly discussions, etcetera, and provide all reading materials,
course notes
in both printed and electronic forms.

Course Title: Psychology
of Human-Animal Relations (PSY 180)
Instructor: Kathleen C. Gerbasi,
Ph.D., 716-754-2466, [email protected]
Summary:
Human-Animal Relations will introduce students to the interdisciplinary field
of Anthrozoology. Anthrozoology is the study of the many different ways
in which human and non-human animals relate to each other and impact each other's
lives. Since this is a psychology course, the main focus of the course will be
Anthrozoology from the psychological perspective, however we will also touch on
other academic fields in addition to psychology. Topics covered in this course
represent an overview of current issues in Human-Animal Studies. The material
covered in this course has great relevance to many disciplines in addition to
psychology, including but not limited to animal management, human service, anthropology,
sociology, and criminal justice. Several topics including: pet-keeping, developmental
and health benefits of pets, animal assisted therapy, animal abuse and violence
toward humans, cognitive ethology, animal rights and animal welfare will be explored.
