Gender and Sexuality in Critical Animal Studies explores nonhuman animals’ experiences of gender, physiological sex, and sexuality while in nature and captivity. The contributors analyze nonhuman oppression issues such as reproductive freedom, deconstructing dichotomous thinking, and promoting animal liberation within and beyond the academy. The scholar-activists featured in this collection investigate injustice in news stories, literature, and other media that shape human perceptions and treatment toward nonhumans. Each chapter confronts problematic social constructions of gender, physiological sex, or sexuality by applying literary theory, cultural studies, disability studies, queer studies, ecocriticism, and more to promote justice and equity for nonhuman animals.

Gender and Sexuality in Critical Animal Studies is a timely and extremely needed collection that interrogates the interconnections between systems of oppression, like speciesism, sexism, racism, and ableism. At a time where scholars, activists, and nonprofit leaders are reevaluating the depths of structural sexism, racism, and cisheteropatriarchy within their institutions, this book illustrates the need for liberation struggles to challenge all abuse in non/human communities in order dismantle hierarchical ideologies.
