About the NZ Centre for Human-Animal Studies
The New Zealand Centre for Human-Animal Studies (NZCHAS) includes members from many disciplines at the University of Canterbury, as well as past and present research students working in the fields of cultural studies, literary studies, political science, sociology, architecture, the visual arts, and Māori and indigenous studies. Graduates who have completed research degrees in the field of human-animal studies while affiliated with NZCHAS remain part of our community as associates, and the Centre has links with major overseas institutions and networks in this field.
