Animals and Sociology

The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series (PMAES)

by Kay Peggs

Animals and Sociology challenges traditional assumptions about the nature of sociology. Sociology often centres on humans; however, other animals are everywhere in society. Kay Peggs explores the significant contribution that sociology can make to our understanding of human relations with other animals.

[Franklin · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good surface level introduction to the case for sociologists to incorporate animals into the discipline. At times it was a little repetitive considering how short the book is. It is an emerging area of research, but a little more could have been done to explain some of these issues and their pertinence to sociology.
