The field of animal studies is burgeoning. Kin to environmental studies, animal studies considers the interconnections between people, animals and nature, using animals as its point of departure. The recent journal Humanimalia is one of several recent journals to emerge in this field of scholarship. The journal’s description is below.

Humanimalia: A Journal of Human/Animal Interface Studies (http://www.depauw.edu/humanimalia ) is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal published by DePauw University and edited by Ralph Acampora, Lynda Birke, Istvan Csicsery-Ronay Jr., Joan Gordon, Tora Holmberg, Susan McHugh, and Sherryl Vint.
Humanimalia has three aims: to explore and advance the vast range of scholarship on human/animal relations, to encourage exchange among scholarship working from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, and to promote dialogue between the academic community and those working closely with animals in non-academic fields.
