Helena Pedersen is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg, focusing on critical animal studies and critical animal pedagogy. Her research investigates the educational dynamics surrounding human-animal relations and how pedagogical practices are informed by posthumanist theories. Helena's work critically analyses the complex power relations that play out among students, teachers, and non-human animals within educational settings and seeks to illuminate the instabilities caused by these interactions. She employs various methodological frameworks including zooethnography and feminist materialism in her research. Helena has authored several influential books, notably 'Animals in Schools: Processes and Strategies in Human-Animal Education' and 'Schizoanalysis and Animal Science Education', contributing significantly to the discourse on animal ethics and education. As a co-founder of the Gothenburg University's Network for Critical Animal Studies, she actively engages in initiatives addressing the implications of posthumanist pedagogy.
