Research interests / activities In my research I consider how animals and people can become entangled in social, political and emotional contention as a result of different beliefs around how people should relate to animals. I explore this phenomena through the social worlds of greyhound racing and rescue in New South Wales, Australia. Through ethnography, I explore the relationships within and between the multiple communities of self-described ‘greyhound lovers’ considering how it is these relations inform notions of identity and belonging.
