Clinton Sanders

Clinton Sanders received his PhD at Northwestern University in 1972 and is currently the Associate Editor of the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography as well as for Society and Animals. He and his co-author Professor Arluke, have received the Charles Horton Cooley award from the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction for the best book of 1996; Regarding Animals.

He has carried out extensive research in the field of animal-human interaction, resulting in more than half a dozen publications on the subject. In his work, Sanders argues that if we want to understand human society fully, we need to acknowledge that we live in an interspecies society.

From 2002 to 2003, he was the acting president of the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interactionism. In addition to Human-Animal Relationships, his research interests include Popular Culture and Deviance, the Sociology of Food, and Cultural Production.
