Dissertation
My dissertation explores the place of non-human animals in the political sphere. While philosophers have seriously engaged ethical issues concerning animals for over four decades, political theorists generally have not considered the ways our legal and political institutions must change to include other animals. However, many working in animal ethics have not fully appreciated the political dimension of our relations to other animals, and this hampers efforts to fully articulate our positive, collective obligations to other animals. My dissertation addresses these gaps. I defend the view that animals are deserving of much greater political inclusion and offer new ways to think about the political status of different kinds of animals (wild, 'liminal,' and domesticated).
