“…Feminist animal studies also problematizes and often challenges the hierarchies and dualisms, such as nature/culture, man/woman, and human/animal, that disadvantage animals, as well as women and other humans who are constructed as being in opposition to, or not fully, human. In their introduction to a recent volume on feminist animal studies, the authors note the diversity of empirical and theoretical emphases in the field in feminist animal studies bound by “the appreciation of the precarious nature of animal lives, embodied materialism, and a commitment to intersectional analysis” (Cudworth et al., 2023, p. 4).…”

“…Feminist animal studies scholars are typically involved in both feminist activism and animal liberation activism that relates to their scholarly work, and also often participate in other justice movements. As feminist animal studies pioneer Gaard (2012) summarizes, “When feminists attend to ‘the question of the animal,’ they do so from a standpoint that centers other [than human] animal species, makes connections among diverse forms of oppression, and seeks to put an end to animal suffering—in other words, to benefit the subject of the research” (p. 15; see also Cudworth et al., 2023; Taylor & Fraser, 2019).…”

This paper presents an invitation to feminist and queer sociology to engage more frequently, enthusiastically, and deeply with animals. Feminist and queer sociology that attend to animals and animality stand to develop better knowledge for animals and animal studies and for women, queers, and feminist and queer sociology. Sociologists working from feminist and queer perspectives are also particularly well‐positioned within the discipline of sociology to contribute to and take advantage of the insights of the field of feminist animal studies. After a brief review of what feminist animal studies is, I proceed through three steps to elaborate the imperative for feminist and queer sociology to consider animals. First, I show how feminist animal studies as a theoretical perspective engages with issues that are core to feminist and queer sociology. Second, I center intersectional feminism and lay out how incorporating species can and does enhance our understanding of intersectional processes. Third, I present an ethical call, grounded in the traditions of feminist ethics and ecofeminism, to attend to species in feminist and queer sociology.
