Reviews

This is an ambitious collection that brings an intimate voice to the discussion of ethical issues that are usually developed in more distanced rights-based discussions. -- Jane Desmond, Professor of Anthropology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA This topical collection of essays takes part in the affective turn of animal ethics, and is distinguished by its focus on personal experiences and a type of auto-scholarship wherein the writers explicitly draw from their own affective engagements with nonhuman animals. -- Elisa Aaltola, Collegium Research Fellow, Turku Institute for Advanced Studies, University of Turku

Author Information

Brianne Donaldson is a farmed animal advocate and assistant professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Monmouth College. Ashley King is a doctoral candidate in religious studies at Northwestern University. Their dissertation project, “Body, Flesh, Meat: A Science-fictional Theory of Soteriology,” develops the concepts of “flesh” and “meat” to theorize racialized queerness, transness, and animality in the viscously embodied soteriologies of contemporary science fiction.
