What do Animals have to do With Religion?
September 6th, 2011
Gavin Van Horn, the Center’s Midwest Director, explores this question in a recently published chapter entitled, “The Buzzing, Breathing, Clicking, Clacking, Biting, Stinging, Chirping, Howling Landscape of Religious Studies.” The chapter is part of the volume Inherited Land: The Changing Grounds of Religion and Ecology, which explores the history and shifting terrain of the field of Religion and Ecology. As you may have surmised from the chapter’s title, Gavin argues that nonhuman animals are critical to understandings of human identity and to all religious orientations. He also emphasizes the importance of engaged scholarship with the lived realities of other animals. For more on Gavin’s chapter and this volume, see Inherited Land: The Changing Grounds of Religion and Ecology.
