Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

It seems that because animals are so prevalent in our social worlds, but yet remarkably invisible, we face the challenge of how to incorporate them into our teaching in a way that conveys the importance of this area of study and presents the controversies related to human treatment of other animals in a meaningful way. I will begin by discussing some of the exercises I have used to increase students' awareness and understanding of the role of nonhuman animals in our lives and the impact our perceptions, and subsequent actions, have on the lives of nonhuman animals. Last September, I began teaching a third year class dedicated to the study of animals and society (AN/S 358 - Animals & People). I'd like to briefly share some of the teaching strategies I've incorporated into this class, in addition to, some of the curriculum that I have designed to bring the study of animals and humans into introductory anthropology & sociology courses.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
