Teaching Animal Mobilities: (How to) Move Animals into Your Classroom
Animals and their movements offer a dynamic lens for understanding the biological and social worlds we share. This digital resource situates animals—from charismatic megafauna to critters that often go unnoticed—within the politics of movement, opening new perspectives in the history of science and other disciplines.
Each teaching module is based on one of the articles in Animal Mobilities, volume 40 of "Osiris," edited by Tamar Novick, Lisa Onaga, and Gabriel N. Rosenberg (2025). Further modules will be added from additional contributors independent of the "Osiris" volume in 2026.
A historical image visually introduces a hands-on guide to classroom instruction on each topic. Together, the modules explore key mobility themes like captivity, affect, and agency, while providing historical sources, discussion questions, assignment ideas, and suggested readings to support innovative approaches to teaching animal histories across disciplines.
