Sofia Huerter (they/them)

My research examines the epistemic bases of inter-species oppression, specifically how the mutual implication of knowledge and power can make the former a weapon of the latter. My dissertation, for instance, considers the ethics of domestication through the lens of disability, revealing how the prevailing responses to domestication, both for and against, are organized by shared ableist anxieties that conflate dependency with indignity. 

I maintain a related interest in the philosophy of language, most especially to do with animal-based pejoratives, and, more recently, in film analysis. I'll write about nearly any topic under the sun, however, provided it catches my attention.
