Arnold Arluke is professor emeritus ofsociology andanthropology atNortheastern University in Boston, Massachusetts and senior fellow at the Tufts Center for animals and public policy.^[1] Arluke earned a Ph.D. in sociology fromNew York University and was a postdoctoral fellow atHarvard School of Public Health. He has served as a visiting scholar atCornell Medical College, the department of psychiatry atMassachusetts General Hospital,Yale Law School, and theInternational Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). Currently, he resides inSt. Petersburg, Florida where he is a consultant to theAmerican Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and aportrait photographer.^[2][3]

Arluke has authored and co-authored 14 books, over 164 scholarly articles, and dozens of trade and press articles. Most of his research and writing focuses on the inconsistencies and contradictions in the human treatment of non-human animals from the early 20th century to the present. As a founder of and advocate for the sociology of animal studies andanthrozoology, he established one of the first scholarly journals (Society & Animals) about animal studies and the first university press series (Animals, Culture, and Society, Temple University Press) devoted to this topic, along with starting the American Sociological Association's section on animals. Many of Arluke's concepts have become a mainstay in human-animal studies, such as the caring-killing paradox, the graduation hypothesis, and the sociozoologic scale. Since 2017, his research has focused onhuman-animal relations and veterinary access in low-income communities inCosta Rica and the United States.^[3]

Of his many publications, he is best known forRegarding Animals; described as a “modern classic;”^[4] it received theCharles Horton Cooley Award. Arluke's research was also honored by theAmerican Sociological Association (ASA), the International Association of Human-animal Interaction Organizations (IAHAIO), and theMassachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA), and was twice recognized for his teaching with the Excellence in Teaching award at Northeastern University.^[5]
