Dr Sarah Crowley

About me:

I am an anthrozoologist, animal geographer and environmental social scientist based in the Centre for Geography and Environmental Science (CGES). My research focuses on investigating human relations with, and the sustainable management of, nonhuman animals, the broader study of human-animal interactions (anthrozoology), and environmental challenges and conflicts. I specialise in applying empirical social research to contemporary conservation and environmental management issues, and particularly the management of introduced, reintroduced, and domestic species. 

Interests:

• Collaborative, sustainable approaches to animal management and wildlife conservation
• Applied, interdisciplinary research that seeks to address contemporary environmental challenges and conflicts
• Anthrozoology and animal geographies

I work on a range of research projects relating to animal and environmental management, and am particularly interested in nonhuman animals and their management, with a focus on:

• introduced, translocated and re-introduced wildlife populations
• domestic animals in the wider environment (companion animal ecology)
• wild animals in domestic spaces
• 'wild attachments': the integration of wildlife species and populations into community and cultural identities
• nonhuman charisma
• sustainable relations with companion animals
• Nature on Screen: wildlife and environmental issues in digital media
