This book discusses how we can inspire today's youth to engage in
challenging and productive discussions around the past, present and
future role of animals in science education. Animals play a large
role in the sciences and science education and yet they remain one
of the least visible topics in the educational literature. This
book is intended to cultivate research topics, conversations, and
dispositions for the ethical use of animals in science and
education. This book explores the vital role of animals with/in
science education, specimens, protected species, and other
associated issues with regards to the role of animals in science.
Topics explored include ethical, curriculum and pedagogical
dimensions, involving invertebrates, engineering solutions that
contribute to ecosystems, the experiences of animals under our
care, aesthetic and contemplative practices alongside science,
school-based ethical dialogue, nature study for promoting inquiry
and sustainability, the challenge of whether animals need to be
used for science whatsoever, reconceptualizing museum specimens,
cultivating socioscientific issues and epistemic practice, cultural
integrity and citizen science, the care and nurturance of
gender-balanced curriculum choices for science education, and
theoretical conversations around cultivating critical thinking
skills and ethical dispositions. The diverse authors in this book
take on the logic of domination and symbolic violence embodied
within the scientific enterprise that has systematically subjugated
animals and nature, and emboldened the anthropocentric and
exploitative expressions for the future role of animals. At a time
when animals are getting excluded from classrooms (too dangerous!
too many allergies! too dirty!), this book is an important
counterpoint. Interacting with animals helps students develop
empathy, learn to care for living things, engage with content. We
need more animals in the science curriculum, not less. David Sobel,
