my thesis: https://t.co/A2990EgyRe

[Marie Leth-Espensen @Marie_Leth_]

So often, we fail despite our commitment to care. I can't think of a more excellent and disturbing example than what takes place on animal farms. In my thesis, I explore alternative conceptions of care at sanctuaries. Thank you @Mina_Mimosa for your beautiful artwork

[Marie Leth-Espensen @Marie_Leth_]

@mericarreras @eacas_eu @LoomusNGO So sad I missed your presentation! I hope I get another chance soon.

1/7 I am delighted to have been given a doctor's degree by the most wonderful examining committee:
@Richie Nimmo, Martina Angela Caretta and
@Jannice Käll. People I truly admire for their excellent and passionate research. The same goes for David Redmalm, the external reviewer🙏

[Marie Leth-Espensen @Marie_Leth_]

2/7 The cover by amazing Mina Mimosa captures the essence of my work on “the politics of suffering” where I uncover mainstream responses to the situation of farmed animals in industrialised agriculture.

[Marie Leth-Espensen @Marie_Leth_]

7/7 In sum, my thesis describes “the politics of suffering” that characterises mainstream responses to the situation of farmed animals in industrial agriculture.

There is much more that needs to be said but this was a start!

[Marie Leth-Espensen @Marie_Leth_]

6/7 The fourth article explores the challenges of creating sanctuary for previously abused and farmed animals and the aspiration for multispecies flourishing.

This piece will come out later this year in an edited volume on feminist animal and multispecies studies.
