Although no longer in academia, he notes that this has freed him creatively: “The fun thing is that I get to write about whatever I want.” For instance, he and his partner Barbara Luke have launched a book series documenting the problems of the Trump presidencies. Luke came to vegan feminism organically as an activist in the late 1980s and early 1990s across Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio: “Every meeting I’d walk into was mostly women, so, it’s like, in your face, the gender connection is right there.” He also observed these gender politics as impacting movement success, notably “fur” production and product testing on nonhuman animals, both of which are gendered institutions. Eating and hunting animals, he clarifies, more masculinized systems, were not progressing in the same way. Attention to these systemic issues is important, he reminds, as it is too easy to internalize critique within movements and absolve, if implicitly, larger forces at play: “I think we should all pile in and contribute whatever we can and keep the focus on the real barrier, which is capitalism and patriarchy.” Likewise, attention to theory may strengthen strategies and goals, including the identification of replacements for acts of speciesism that are fundamental to social relationships and institutions. “Most of the theoretical work is done,” he concludes, suggesting that there is hope and room for creating alternative futures.
