Double Credit Course on “Animal Law: Perspectives from the Global South”
12th January 2026
About the Course:
Animal law has emerged as a vital field not only within environmental and social justice movements, but also independently, particularly in the Global South where human–animal relations intersect with culture, livelihood, and religion. This course explores the evolution, philosophy, and practice of animal protection laws with a primary focus on India’s legal framework, especially the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 (PCA), along with comparative insights from other countries in the Global South.
The course is designed as an advanced-level offering for those who completed the Foundation of Animal Law course last year and is open to all students interested in understanding the nuances of animal law and policy in India and beyond.
The sessions will feature eminent academicians, researchers, and practitioners from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and other parts of the Global South, offering a holistic perspective on animal welfare law, policy, and ethics.
