Content:
"Interest in the field of human-animal interactions is burgeoning and researchers and educators are keen to understand the science undergirding research that helps us understand interactions between people and animals. Recently, exciting and innovative research is focusing on how people's virtual interactions with animals can enhance their learning, social interactions, and well-being. This research aims to answer questions such as "What types of interactions do people have with animals in a virtual context? How do people access and experience their virtual interactions with animals? Do virtual interactions with animals hold potential to enhance people's well-being and learning in the same way that in-person interactions with animals have been documented? What educational strategies could be employed to enhance people's virtual interactions with animals? How can we respect animals as research participants within a virtual context?" Drawing from seminal and cutting-edge research in the field of human-animal interactions, these questions and others are answered in Virtual Human-Animal Interactions. Research-informed and grounded in critical discussions of theory and practice, readers will be challenged to reconceptualize their understanding of research and practice exploring the complexities inherent in, and arising from, people's virtual interactions with animals. Further, with an eye to the future, this book illuminates readers' thinking around the empirical and practical implications of facilitating interactions between people and animals within virtual contexts. Researchers and educators from across disciplines will find Virtual Human-Animal Interactions both scientifically savvy and practical"--
