Being well together
In the expanding field of human-animal interaction (HAI) research, studies examining the relationship between pet ownership and human health and wellbeing have struggled with inconsistent and inconclusive findings around whether interacting with a pet has a positive, negative, or even a significant impact. These inconsistencies have driven efforts to interrogate methodological approaches and strengthen scientific rigor in HAI research, aiming to …
Kinship Health Relationships
Through an innovative interspecies analysis, this article explores narratives surrounding the medical treatment of humans and pet animals at the end of life among U.K. veterinary surgeons, medical practitioners, and members of the public. Contrasting the care options open to pet owners with those available to human patients, and through a thematic focus on treatments and medicines, euthanasia, and palliation, this article pays close attention to …
The good death and discovering a posthuman medical practice
In this paper I explore preliminary research ideas on the urgency and challenges of embedding a medical posthumanities in practice. I first reflect on my experiences of the deaths of non-human animals through the production and consumption of medicine. Using vignettes from real life experiences of working with animals in the laboratory and the veterinary clinic, I test Donna Haraway's perspective that ‘we have never been human’. I show that emoti…
Multi-species dementia studies
Animal research nexus
Animals used in biological research and testing have become integrated into the trajectories of modern biomedicine, generating increased expectations for and connections between human and animal health. Animal research also remains controversial and its acceptability is contingent on a complex network of relations and assurances across science and society, which are both formally constituted through law and informal or assumed. In this paper, we …
Doing good by proxy
This article demonstrates the relevance of animals to medical sociology by arguing that pet owners' accounts of veterinary decision-making can highlight key sociological themes which are important to both human and animal health. Based on semi-structured interviews, the article argues that interspecies 'kinship' allows for the extension of sociological claims regarding altruism, self-interest and mutuality from human blood donation to companion a…
