Entangling Human and Animal Rights in US Industrial Farms

Listen to Manaeha and Matt and their interview with Alex Blanchette, PhD’13, a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Tufts University. His book Porkopolis: American Animality, Standardized Life is an ethnography of work within some of the world's largest meat corporations. A big thank you to Dr. Blanchette for sharing his research into American factory farms, including manure lagoons and concentrated feed lots. Hopefully, this episode starts a much-needed conversation about what workers as well as animals endure in and surrounding industrial farms in the US.
