Gillespie, Kathryn A. “For a Politicized Multispecies Ethnography: Reflections on a Feminist Geographic Pedagogical Experiment.”

Gillespie outlines the process of teaching an undergraduate course on the methodology of multispecies ethnography. The focus of the article is on pig-sanctuaries, but the descriptions of ethical concerns and the work students had to perform, such as a geographic analysis of the space in which the animals resided and a reflection on their position as researcher, is relevant for how one could perform multispecies research in the zoo.
