The authors examine recent moves towards openness, inclusion and interdisciplinarity in science, and identify questions that can move the often polarised debate for and against animal research into new and more inclusive forms of communication. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is written as a collaboration and conversation between historians, geographers, sociologists, anthropologists, science and technology studies scholars and engagement professionals, with commentaries from the arts, social sciences and animal research sector. Through detailed qualitative analysis of regulation, care, expertise and public engagement, the book offers an unparalleled picture of the changing cultures, practices and policies of UK animal research.
