From 2011-2022, Animalia was maintained by students and alumni of the Anthrozoology graduate program at Canisius University. The aim of Animalia was to bring together research and scholarly work written by graduate students from the vast world of Anthrozoology/Human-Animal Studies. Animalia provided a forum for critical thought, shared ideas, and enlightening discussions as this burgeoning field continues to develop. As of December 2025, this journal has shut down for various reasons. While this site will no longer be maintained, authors who have published their work here are free to withdraw their publications if they wish. Please contact Dr. Joshua Russell (russellj@canisius.edu) to coordinate this process.

We are excited to announce that through connections between Canisius and the Animals & Society Institute, Canisius will now be hosting Sloth Journal, a journal that has traditionally featured undergraduate work in the field of Anthrozoology/Human-Animal Studies. Given the closure of ASI, we are excited to be the new host for the journal as it re-launched under a new editorial team. It will now also feature the work of graduate students as well as undergraduates.
