Animal Geography Specialty Group
Association of American Geographers
About
The Animal Geography Specialty Group (AnGSG) strives to enhance geographic research and scholarship on
matters relating to human-animal studies by:
(a) encouraging the exchange of ideas among geographers studying biological, cultural, ecological, economic, political, and technical aspects of the myriad ways humans co-exist with other animal species;
(b) promoting research in these areas; and
(c) facilitating collaboration between existing AAG specialty groups and committees to promote common interests and develop intra-disciplinary and interdisciplinary projects.
The overall aim of AnGSG is to support discussion of human-animal issues by geographers as a legitimate and active part of the discipline.
