Queer Entanglements: Intersections of Gender, Sexuality, and Animal Companionship

Damien W. Riggs (Flinders University of South Australia),Shoshana Rosenberg (Curtin University, Perth),Heather Fraser (Queensland University of Technology),Nik Taylor (University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand)

Queer Entanglements provides the first comprehensive account of the intersections of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, trans, and non-binary people’s lives with the lives of animals. Exploring diverse topics such as domestic violence, grief following the loss of an animal, veganism, cruelty-free makeup products, Pride events, and community activism, the book offers a theoretical and empirical basis for understanding the contexts that bring together human and animal lives. By using real-world examples, it provides a lively and engaging view of what it means to think about the connections between animal and human lives, even when human experiences operate at the expense of animal wellbeing. This critical, intersectional, and interdisciplinary perspective on human-animal relations will be of interest to scholars and students in human-animal studies, psychology, sociology, social work, and cultural and gender studies.
