  1. Making kangaroos grievable; making grievability non-human.Yvette Kim Clarissa Wijnandts - 2022 - History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences 44 (2):1-16.

    The large-scale, intensive production of meat and other animal products, also known as the animal-industrial complex, is our largest food system in terms of global land use and contribution to environmental degradation.

In this paper, I present outcomes of a discourse analysis undertaken on a selection (...)
