FS 011 PZ -Canine Companions: Exploring the Origins and Behaviors of Dogs Institution: Pitzer
Description: Dogs and humans have coexisted as each other’s companions for more than 20,000 years. However, anthropologists, ethologists, and genomicists continue to debate over the evolution of dogs from wolves, the genetic basis of behaviors in many dog breeds, and the emotions that we share with our pets. In this course we will explore the history of human-canine relationships and the roles dogs play across cultures. We will read and discuss popular articles on dog cognition, physiology, and behavior and practice writing to multiple audiences. Using a multi-drafting approach, we will develop strategies for revision, peer review and constructive criticism. (Instructor: Jenna Monroy)
