Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Animals & Society Institute is a nonprofit organization focused on human-animal relationships. It seeks to broaden understanding by translating research on human-animal interaction into practical guidance for communities and organizations, providing essential knowledge and tools to support evidence-informed work. Its work targets professionals and institutions looking to apply findings from human-animal interaction research to real-world settings, addressing the gap between theory and practice in areas related to safety and compassion toward both humans and animals. The organization operates within the non-profit sector at the intersection of research and applied practice, helping to translate academic insights into everyday decision-making. A notable recent development is the 2022 launch of the Brill Human-Animal Studies Book Series, managed by ASI.
