New Colleague

The GenNa team welcomes a new scholar working in the field of Human-Animal studies: Jacob Bull.

We are happy to welcome Jacob Bull to the GenNa team. He is a social and cultural geographer and joined us in September 2009. His PhD is from the University of Exeter and is entitled, Valuable Ecologies: A Geography of Angling. During his visit to Uppsala University and the Centre for Gender Research, Jacob works with the project, “Animal Landscapes: The Masculinities of Livestock Farming.” Drawing on interviews with farmers and analyses of the agricultural press, he will examine how “landscape” and animals can be considered as actors in the construction of agricultural masculinities. Jacob’s project also provides international comparisons by engaging with farmers in Northern England and Central Sweden.
