no “animal studies program” in any American university. In fact, the phrase “animal studies” does not even exist except as I am here using it informally. Even making the comparison between animals and historically oppressed people is much more likely to offend the people involved than ennoble the cause of animals. This even though many feminists, like Carol J. Adams in The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory (Continuum 1990), have argued animals and women have both been

to understand how past events in earth history (i.e. glacial cycles and fluctuating sea levels) have affected the distribution of species in this region. Rosemarie (Romey) Haberle My research uses both phylogenetic and comparative chloroplast genomic approaches to better understand the evolutionary biology of flowering plants. Currently, I am studying members of the bluebell family (Campanulaceae) which is an excellent model system to address different evolutionary biology questions. I use both

said. When he returned from Chengdu, he was hooked. China was “like studying a puzzle,” Ford says. And a puzzle that drew him in with its people, its art, history and politics. His intellectual curiosity simply wouldn’t let him put the topic or the place, aside. He future was going to be linked to international studies; he just couldn’t wait to get back. He did manage to go back in 2011 to study ethnic minorities in China. It was Professor Adam Cathcart, who happened to be in China at the same
