Our ongoing dialogue with pigs has cultivated a research approach that values non-linearity, passion, & uncertainty. We foreground diverse & overlooked resources, and are open to spontaneous, exploratory, even if frivolous paths

I had a paper published in Humanimalia last week, called the "Feral at Home". I'm chuffed about the timing because it joins a great selection of other papers

I'll add a few more details about the paper below, but shoutout to all the great & hard work of the journal editors. And for keeping it OA
Out Now: Humanimalia 15.2!
Featuring timely essays on human–animal entanglements, including 🐴 a taxidermied horse in London, 🐗 a feral pig in Australia, 🐐 “happy” goats in Italy, 🐾 robot dogs in Gaza, 🐦 pheasants in NL, and 🐑 sheepdogs in the UK.
