Professor of English Susan McHugh’s book Animal Stories: Narrating across Species Lines was awarded the 2012 Michelle Kendrick Memorial Book Prize for the best academic book at Nonhuman, the 26th Annual Meeting of the Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts, hosted September 27-30, by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

As part of the conference, McHugh worked with Tora Holmberg, Ph.D., of Uppsala University, Sweden, to co-organize a two-panel sequence on the theme “Taking Place: HumAnimal Relations, Space, and Affect,” as part of which McHugh delivered the paper, “Service Animals as Urban Technologies.”

Additionally, McHugh was a participant at the opening roundtable, “Animality Studies and Its Discontents,” and a respondent on the book panel devoted to Thinking Animals: Why Animal Studies Now, an academic book recently published by Kari Weil, Ph.D., university professor of letters at Wesleyan University.
