I am currently working on a study of people who call themselves furries. As far as I know (July 2006) there is no study in a peer-reviewed journal that has explored the furry culture (fandom). Information from the ongoing Furry Study is placed on Live Journal (see homepage above). Other general research interests are in social psychological aspects of anthrozoology. I am the Resource Coordinator for Society and Animals Forum. I have developed and teach an in the class-room and also an on line course on the Psychology of Human-animal relations. I also teach Intro to Psych, Life Span Development and Social Psych.
