About the Author
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.
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
