Abstract

We, the editors of the special dossier "Animals and Organizations", invited Professor Verónica Policarpo for this interview to our thematic dossier. Professor Policarpo is a sociologist and the founder and coordinator of the Human-Animal Studies Hub at the University of Lisbon. Our goal was to introduce our readers to the field of Human-Animal Studies and to explore the possibilities of intersection with Organizational Studies. Our interview took place at Professor Policarpo's home, where we were joined by two cats, Coco and Mostarda. Our conversation started in person and continued over a few days through audio files. We discussed a variety of subjects, including the relationship between personal experiences and animal research, activism, the formation of research networks, the development of the field of Human-Animal Studies in the Portuguese-speaking world and beyond, its political and institutional constitution, methodologies, challenges, agendas, and possible connections with management and organizational studies.
