This course examines the social and ethical dimensions of science through an investigation of scientific research with dogs. Through reading and discussing philosophical, scientific, and policy work, as well as engaging popular media, students will develop their understanding of research ethics, scientific practice, and the interactions between science and social values, all the while learning about the relationships between humans and our canine companions.
