Abstract The multidisciplinary nature of human-(nonhuman) animal interactions ( HAI ), and global interest in HAI development, has led to an explosion of research in recent years justifying the need to update previous reviews in the subject area. This paper reports the results of a systematic literature review focusing on measures of HAI created in the ten-year period since previous reviews ended (2008). Thirty new HAI questionnaires were identified using two sets of search terms. Results indicated that reliability and validity testing were still not standard within tool creation. Companion animal HAI remained dominant in the instrument field; however, there was continued research into exotic animal HAI and the initiation of research into therapy and assistance animal HAI . Refinement of terminology and consistent use of definitions could facilitate researchers from various disciplines being able to locate relevant research in future. Similar review updates are recommended for attitudes to animal tools.

Despite the importance of biodiversity, humans value some species more highly than others. Placing different levels of value on species can impact nonhuman animal welfare and conservation. Feelings are central to value recognition. It’s critical to better understand how to foster positive feelings toward different species. The purpose of this study was to test the Transcendent Feelings of Animal Valuation scale and evaluate the influence of a wildlife sanctuary visit on feelings toward moose and coyotes. The scale was piloted with 29 visitors and demonstrated good reliability. It was then administered to 100 visitors. At baseline, participants had a significantly stronger emotional valuation of moose compared to coyote, consistent with negative social constructions of coyotes. Both moose and coyote scores increased significantly from pre- to post-visit, suggesting that exposure to wildlife in a sanctuary setting can increase feelings of valuation toward diverse species. The experience may also influence wildlife stewardship.

The Process of Coming and Going in this World is a four-channel, site-specific installation by artist Ruth Burke. The work incorporates its audience, including nonhuman collaborators. While dependent on time and place, it has been preserved in audio recordings and photographs. In this interview between the artist and art historian Jessica Landau, they discuss the installation’s use of sound, time, and place to evoke interspecies relationships based on collaboration and co-constituted domestication. While using the installation and subsequent sound recording of it as a starting point, the conversation looks at the ways our relationships with animals on farms involve notions of time and place, companionship, and coevolution.

We first came together at the Human-Animal Studies Summer Institute Program in the summer of 2017. Hosted by the Animals and Society Institute and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, this symposium was an opportunity to hear from and ask questions of people in the field of human-animal studies, to give and receive feedback on works in progress from colleagues in a range of fields, to see and listen to examples of animal-centered art, to visit a local goat farm, and to engage with the multitude of species found in Champaign, Illinois. Many encounters took place at this event. Early career scholars mingled with people who helped to build the field of human-animal studies. Academics who frequently work within traditional fields of study collaborated across disciplinary boundaries. The fine arts met the humanities. The hard sciences met the social sciences. Artists, musicologists, literary critics, gender studies scholars, historians, sociologists, political scientists, veterinarians, equine therapists, lawyers, and many more were working together in the same space. Those who primarily identify as researchers joined academics whose main identity is that of teacher. Some considered themselves activists first. Vegans and vegetarians dined at the same tables as pescatarians and meat-eaters. We all encountered nonhuman life: the companion dogs who came to visit with people who lived nearby; the goats and dog at the aforementioned farm; an injured owl and falcon from a local wildlife rescue; the snake brought in by a member of the group; the fireflies or lightning bugs that were a phenomenal new sight for some participants from other countries; the campus squirrels; the dead baby rabbit found on a sidewalk that a colleague decided to bury; and for some of us, the food on our plates. With all these encounters, slippages occurred between humans and nonhuman animals, between fields of study,
