The MA in Animal Protection Law is a unique opportunity for any individual who is interested in defending animal interests. This program not only intends to add value to the existing skill-set of individuals working in the animal welfare/rights space but also acts as a fantastic starting point for those who want to initiate a career in animal advocacy in India or abroad.
Animal advocacy is increasingly becoming relevant in the public policy/governance space since animal protection has taken the shape of a social movement that informs public sentiments. In India, the movement is at a critical juncture where multiple templates are available from the experiences of both similarly placed as well as developed nations. It is high time to contextualize those experiences to the Indian condition without losing the international character of the movement. It is with the awareness of this responsibility in mind that NALSAR decided to start a masters program in Animal Protection Laws.
Secondly, the masters program stands on a firm foundation of the experience of the Animal Law Centre with its collaborators. The centre was established in collaboration with Humane Society International/India in 2018 and has worked on several research projects since then. Some of the experts from HSI/India will be bringing their experience from the field to the classroom through the courses taught in the program. The centre has also collaborated with animal law research centres from reputed universities across the world like Harvard Law School and Barcelona University. We hope that students will benefit from the invigorating environment created by the centre for research in the developing area of animal laws. Moreover, from our experience with the PG Diploma course that we have been running for the past few years, we have learnt that students of different levels of experience in the field of animal advocacy take the course and such courses offer a great peer-to-peer networking opportunity for students. We are currently working on creating a database of all alumni who have taken courses offered by the ALC and we hope that we are able to create synergies and convergences among like minded people who can stand up for those who need it the most.
The masters program is special for two reasons. Firstly, the thought process that has gone into designing the different pedagogical approaches to this program is grounded in reality. The courses in this program are delivered by a mix of experts from both theoretical and practical backgrounds. Experts with decades of experience in the field will be engaging with students to offer hands-on skill building. At the same time, professors and researchers who are active participants in the contemporary debates in the field will ensure a
