Carl Safina participates in "Listening to Animals," a two-part online class as part of 92Y's "The Great Thinkers" course series.

Have you ever wondered what animals think and feel? Does my dog really love me back?

Join New York Times-bestselling author Carl Safina for a fresh exploration of animal consciousness, empathy, and culture—and a new perspective on how human beings can communicate with the natural world. Safina’s brilliant writing about the intersection of human and animal life—in books like Becoming Wild, Beyond Words, and Song for the Blue Ocean—serves as a springboard into a fascinating discussion about how animals create language, raise families, and express emotion in ways are strikingly resonant with human culture—because, after all, humans are animals too. Find out what animals, both in the wild and in our own homes, can teach us about our shared world.

This two-part course runs from 6pm-7:15pm, and will be held Tuesday, December 1, 2020, and Tuesday, December 8, 2020. Cost: $50.
