\nOur upcoming issue\u2019s theme is Animals: Living together<\/p>\n
We invited teachers and students to think about animals and our relationship with them:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Why is the human species so fascinated with nonhuman species?
\n\u2022 Why do we care more about some animals than others?
\n\u2022 Should some animals be treated better than others?
\n\u2022 What is a pet?
\n\u2022 Do animals deserve the same respect and rights as humans?
\n\u2022 In what sense can we \u201cknow\u201d nonhuman animals?
\n\u2022 Can we eat meat and still love animals?
\n\u2022 How do animal lifestyles, habitats, forms of communication, needs reflect and contrast with our own? What does this tell us about them and about ourselves?<\/p>\n
