very excited to be giving a talk at this year's Furry Studies conference :3 if you need something to do this Halloween consider tuning in 🎃 the program is wonderfully stacked and I'm honored to be a part of it!! furrystudies.org @furrystudies.org

"Meet the presenters" poster for the upcoming Furry Studies conference:

Juniper Clark
Presenting: "Chasing our Tails: (Trans)Species Critique and Coalitional Politics"

Reserve tickets for virtual or in person conference attendance at https://furrystudies.org/

Friday October 31st at Pacific Lutheran University

Q: What first interested you in “furry” anthropomorphic animal characters?

A: As a young (and very confused) queer person, the online furry/therian art ecosystem allowed me to explore my gender and sexuality in a way I really couldn’t have had I not stumbled onto it. Even before that point though, I very fondly remember RP-ing on those early Warrior Cats forums…

Q: What does furry mean to you personally?

A: Alongside providing meaningful community (important for me, as a trans critter), furry lets me imagine a queer transspecies politics in resistance to the shallow premises of humanism and its exclusionary logics. To be an animal, in this sense, is to feel, glimpse, and hear otherwise worlds, bodily configurations, and more-than-human communities.

Q: Who or what inspired your fursona?

A: She is me and I am her – a muddling of species as playfully speculative as it is reflective of those I consider kin. Among other things, she pays homage to home and habitat (red fox) and speaks to the broader processes of domestication I find myself embedded within (border collie).
