Brett Mizelle <dmizelle@csulb.edu> History & American Studies, CSU Long Beach I am currently working on two book projects in the interdisciplinary field of "animal studies": To the Curious: The Cultural Work of Exhibitions and Representations of Exotic and Performing Animals in America, 1789-1837, manuscript in progress for the Johns Hopkins University Press series "Animals, History, Culture." Pig, manuscript in progress for the Reaktion Books series "Animal." I am especially interested in pedagogical questions, having been involved in national initiatives focused on learning-centered undergraduate education. I hope to use my co-editorship of H-Animal to prompt discussion about how to teach the history of human-animal relationships. |
