About
Presently in a mostly research position interested in animal genomics and biotechnology. Specifically the different frames, such as sustainability, used to argue for such technologies. My intellectual homes are animal studies, gender studies, environmental ethics and sociological theory. I'm increasingly interested in the global political economy of food; theories and practices of critical posthumanism, as well as rejoining earlier interests in intersectionality theory, including but not limited to theories of ecofeminism. I have also written on the idea of critical or posthuman bioethics.
I am currently finishing my first book, that is titled 'Animals as Biotechnologies - Ethics, Sustainability and Critical Animal Studies' to be published in 2010.
My academic interests are informed by a commitment to critical thinking, a reflexivity toward the relationships between academia and activism, and a commitment to a posthumanist politics of intersectionality.
I also teach a small amount on subjects as diverse as genomics and society, animal studies, and masculinities.
