	"Episode 19: Vegan Killjoys at the Table with Richard Twine"; Twine discusses the concept of vegan killjoys with Siobhan O'Sullivan (2016)

Richard Twine (born 1974) is a British sociologist whose research addresses environmental sociology as well as gender, human/animal and science studies.^[1] He is noted for his "foundational" work in critical animal studies.^[2] He is a reader in sociology in the Department of History, Geography & Social Sciences at Edge Hill University, where he is the co-director of the Centre for Human-Animal Studies. He is also the chair of the Research Advisory Committee of The Vegan Society.^[1]^[3]

Career

Twine studied for a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Psychology at the University of Stirling, graduating in 1995, and then went on to study for a Master of Arts in Sociology at the University of Essex, which he completed in 1996. He was awarded his PhD in Sociology from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2002.^[4] His thesis, supervised by Gail Hawkes and Sue Scott and examined by Anne Witz, was entitled Ecofeminism and the 'New' Sociologies - A Collaboration Against Dualism.^[5]

After completing his studies, Twine spent a decade at Lancaster University, where he was based within the ESRC Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics.^[1] While at Lancaster, he published Animals as Biotechnology: Ethics, Sustainability and Critical Animal Studies as part of the Earthscan Science in Society Series.^[6] This was "the first book fully dedicated to" critical animal studies.^[2] It offered, in the words of one reviewer, "an impressive analysis of the biotech and meat industries from an unapologetically pro-animal perspective".^[7]

After finishing at Lancaster, Twine worked briefly at the University of Glasgow^[8] and the UCL Institute of Education.^[1] He published the collection The Rise of Critical Animal Studies: From the Margins to the Centre, co-edited with Nik Taylor, with Routledge in 2014.^[9] The same year, he joined Edge Hill University.^[10] He also published a paper in Societies^[11] in which he drew upon Sara Ahmed's notion of a feminist killjoy, coining the idea of a "vegan killjoy".^[12] Twine argues that, in a culture in which meat-eating is the norm, a vegan can, by their mere presence, challenge anthropocentric attitudes and practices, affecting the enjoyment that others have in eating animal products.^[11] This, Twine claims, can serve as "critical deconstructive work".^[11] The idea of the vegan killjoy has been widely deployed in vegan studies and related fields.^[12] His book The Climate Crisis and Other Animals, published by Sydney University Press,^[3] and his co-edited collection Violence and Harm in the Animal Industrial Complex: Human-Animal Entanglements^[13] were both released in 2024.

As of 2024^[update], Twine is a reader in sociology in the Department of History, Geography & Social Sciences at Edge Hill^[4] and co-director of the university's Centre for Human-Animal Studies.^[3]
