Entering my third year of PhD candidature. My research focuses on greyhound racing and greyhound rescue. Through ethnographic exploration I examine how greyhounds as individuals are imagined as symbolic of all greyhounds and what these imaginings mean in terms of political contestation and multispecies love.

Are you new to animal studies research? Do you grapple with current theoretical debates – such as intersectionality and decolonial approaches? Do you wonder how and where to publish? If you would like to understand the basics of the publication process, from pitching an article idea to responding to peer review and get advice on what’s possible when working with non-traditional outputs – such as visual art and creative writing – join us at the master class: Tools for Animal Studies Research.
This interactive online event, presented by the Australasian Animal Studies Association (AASA), is aimed at higher degree and early career researchers interested in animal studies. You will have an opportunity to hear from scholars doing innovative work in the field and ask questions.
