Donna Haraway is a professor in the History of Consciousness Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she teaches feminist theory, science studies, and animal studies. Her books include Crystals, Fabrics, and Fields: Metaphors That Shape Embryos (Berkeley: North Atlantic Books, 2004; originally Yale University Press, 1976); The Companion Species Manifesto: Dogs, People, and Significant Otherness (Chicago: Prickly Paradigm Press, 2003); Modest_Witness@Second_Millennium.FemaleMan©Meets OncoMouse™ (New York: Routledge, 1997); Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature (New York: Routledge, 1991); and Primate Visions: Gender, Race, and Nature in the World of Modern Science (New York: Routledge, 1989).
Haraway’s latest book, When Species Meet (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2008), examines philosophical, historical, cultural, personal, technoscientific, and biological aspects of animal-human inter- and intra-actions. Dogs lead the way; but strong supporting roles are reserved for dugongs, tigers, mushrooms, chickens, cats, squid, animal people, microorganisms, and whales with videocams.
