Exploring "Animals and Religion": Meet the Authors Roundtable

In this roundtable, the three editors and ten of the contributors will introduce their new volume on Animals and Religion. This book, released in February 2024, offers the first comprehensive multi-authored overview of the field of animals and religion since A Communion of Subjects was published in 2006. It also includes significant new research and analysis on the topic by many of the contributors. Each chapter is accessibly written to ensure that the volume can be used in undergraduate classrooms, and we are excited to share it at AAR. After the editors provide an overview of how we designed the volume and the theoretical work we intend it to do, contributors will discuss how they each use the concepts and cases presented in their chapters in their own teaching and/or research.
