Natasha Matsaert (behind the scenes)!

Hi I'm Natasha! I'm a Masters student studying Anthrozoology at the University of Exeter and am responsible for the producing the TDWA Newsletter and editing of many of the podcast episodes! My interests in the realm of anthrozoology are broad and all-encompassing but thus far in my degree I have been particularly drawn to feminist-vegan critical theory, the politics of belonging surrounding urban wildlife, and nonhuman representation in film and art. What's the deal with animals? I'm listening in to find out!
