pattrice jones is a cofounder of VINE Sanctuary, an LGBTQ-run farmed animal sanctuary that works within an ecofeminist understanding of the intersection of oppressions. VINE was the first sanctuary to develop a method for rehabilitating roosters used in cockfighting, and pattrice has written and spoken extensively about the uses of roosters and other animals in the social construction of injurious ideas about gender. VINE also has taken the lead in “queering” animal liberation, organizing dozens of events and publications on the intersections between speciesism and homophobia dating back to 2002. Located in a predominantly white rural region devoted to dairying, VINE includes antiracist efforts in its local campaigns.VINE also works frequently with scholars and has made it a priority to bridge the gap between academia and

activism. Prior to founding the sanctuary, jones was a social change activist using a wide variety of tactics in a wide range of movements dating back to the 1970s. As an ecofeminist scholar, jones has authored two books—The Oxen at the
Intersection (Lantern, 2014) and Aftershock: Confronting Trauma in a Violent

World (Lantern, 2007)—as well as numerous contributions to edited collections, including Animaladies (Bloomsbury, 2018); Animal Oppression and Capitalism (Praeger, 2017); Ecofeminism (Bloomsbury, 2014); Sister Species (University of Illinois Press, 2011); Minding the Animal Psyche (Spring Journal, 2010); and Contemporary Anarchist Studies (Routledge, 2009).
