The Chinese Animal Studies Network aims to unite and connect scholars interested in studying animals across the chronological and geographic breadth of China. Founded in 2024 by Kelsey Granger, Renée Krusche, and Anne Schmiedl, CASN aims to encourage scholars to think with, through, and as animals in their research and to introduce Chinese examples into the ongoing animal turn. CASN will provide a forum for emerging and established scholars from around the world to contribute to our knowledge of animal histories, interactions, and agencies in a Chinese context.
