Talking to Furry Researchers
11 years ago
General
Last year I wrote an article for [adjective][species] about a scientific paper that talked about furries. The author used furries as part of wider discussion about how modern society relates to animals.
Essentially, she argues that modern life disconnects us from other people, and that we use animals as a replacement.
That's a bad summary. But I'm currently coming down with a cold and tempering my sadness with beer, so if you're interested feel free to refer to my original article, which was written while sober.

Anyway, last week the researcher found my article and got in touch, and we've agreed to have a chat about her research, furries, and her upcoming book. Any thoughts? Any questions that anyone would like to ask?
