Mapping Affects 

Mapping affects across animal-human relationships has been one aspect of the project. Time and time again the young people have stressed that it isn't about one or the other but a partnership between that matters most. Love, care, respect, and reciprocity are essential. As one young person explained to me, treating animals well is essential to working with livestock.  

The Rural Southern Childhoods Project would like to thank the Collaborative Arts Research Initiative at the University of Alabama for providing funding for this project.
