A well delivered, encompassing look at the many elements of understandings of wildlife alongside various engaging case studies that demonstrate the complexities of human/animal relations. Thom Van Dooren deploys alternative, somewhat experimental pedagogic strategies alongside strong academic content (that is also easily accessible and sourced for personal investigation) to engage with the class. Thom's strong emphasis on narratives and storytelling make lectures entertaining, informative and sought provoking. Don't miss the opportunity to learn from a lecturer who has networked and written extensively in this area of study and who has a passion for helping students participate in his joy.
