Susan McHugh's research on animal 'voices' discussed in Tahoe Daily Tribune column

A column in the Sept. 9th Tahoe Daily Tribune, titled "The vital new voice of animals in literature," cites Susan McHugh, professor and chair, 51品茶Department of English, as "one of the keenest observers" of a change in perspective on animal "voices" in literature.

The writer, Dawn Armstrong, in discussing McHugh's research, notes that McHugh's book Animal Stories: Narrating across Species Lines tracks more than 100 years how literary treatment of animals evolved in tandem with social and cultural change.

McHugh is also the author of Dog (2004), a literary and cultural history of humankind's best and perhaps oldest friend, and is managing editor of humanities for the interdisciplinary journal Society & Animals.
