Climate, Creatures and COVID-19: Environment and Animals in Twenty-First Century Media Discourse

I am a PhD researcher in English at the University of Strathclyde. In my thesis, Consuming Men: Masculinity, Meat and Myth in Literary Fictions from Mary Shelley to Ursula K. Le Guin, I use ecofeminist animal studies theory to analyse masculinity, species and the consumption of the animal in retellings of the classical Prometheus myth in literary fiction from the publication of Frankenstein in 1818 to the present day.
