Politics and Animal

LUCASN co-sponsors and houses the journal Politics and Animals. Politics and Animals is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that explores the human-animal relationship from the vantage point of political science and political theory. It hosts international, multidisciplinary research and debate — conceptual and empirical — on the consequences and possibilities that human-animal relations have for politics and vice versa.

Affiliated Centers

One of the Network’s primary functions is to serve as an interdisciplinary hub for scholars and students dedicated to working with critical animal studies. International networking and research is a significant part of promoting the field, and will be aided by hosting meetings, workshops and outreach activities both within and outside the academic community. Currently, LUCASN has formal connections to several centers for research and education in the fields of human-animal studies and critical animal studies.

Vethos is a politically and religiously independent institute engaged in animal advocacy from a veterinary, ethological and ethical perspective. The institute consists of veterinarians and animal behaviourists, who wants to work for a change in society's attitude to and treatment of other animals. As veterinarians and animal behaviourists, the people behind Vethos have extensive knowledge of animal behaviours and needs, knowing that what unites human beings and other animals is more than what divides us. However, this knowledge is often ignored in society, and  animals are treated as if they had no feelings and/or will. Individuals, businesses and organizations that use animals are too often allowed to go unchallenged, and there is a lack of a voice to defend the interests of animals from a veterinary and ethological perspective. With their knowledge and expertise, Vethos wants to be that voice.
