Sharing Spaces offers a highly sophisticated and much welcome contribution to the fields of environmental studies, human-animal studies, and science and technology studies. It serves as an excellent example of how these three fields can be brought into a very fruitful conversation.

This rich collection chronicles some of the ways technologies shape human relationships with animals. While some of these relationships are exploitative, here also are chronicled relations of care and symbiotic partnerships. The case studies are fascinating, the analysis consistently attuned to the complexities of these entanglements.

How are our relationships with animals mediated by technology and what are the ethical and moral implications of those entanglements? Through case studies that range across species, spaces, and times, this critically important collection explores how technologies—whether tracking devices, cameras, or monitoring tools—both connect and alienate us from animals, creating opportunities for both greater understanding and exploitation.
