Von der hinteren Coverseite

Researching animal research sets out an innovative approach for understanding and intervening in the social relations around animal research.

Using the concept of the animal research nexus, the book documents the current practices, professional norms and social imaginaries that make up animal research and explores how these elements have historically reshaped each other. The authors examine recent moves towards openness, inclusion and interdisciplinarity in science, and identify questions that can move the often polarised debate for and against animal research into new and more inclusive forms of communication.

The book is written as a collaboration and conversation between historians, geographers, sociologists, anthropologists, science and technology studies scholars and engagement professionals, with commentaries from the arts, social sciences and animal research sector. Through detailed qualitative analysis of regulation, care, expertise and public engagement, the book offers an unparalleled picture of the changing cultures, practices and policies of UK animal research. Incorporating critical commentaries and examples of creative practices, it also seeks to animate and potentially transform the animal research nexus that it describes.

As the social imaginaries and regulations around animal research continue to change in the UK and beyond, this book provides a vital interdisciplinary contribution to the search for new ways to think about and research animal research today.
