Author Biography

Steve Best

Steven Best is Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Texas, El Paso. Working in areas such as philosophy, social and political theory, cultural studies, science and technology studies, animal rights, and environmentalism, he has written and edited eight books and published over 100 articles and reviews. In addition to the books he has published on postmodern theory (many with Douglas Kellner), he co-edited (with Anthony J. Nocella II) Terrorists or Freedom Fighters? Reflections on the Liberation of Animals (Lantern Books, 2004) and Igniting a Revolution: Voices in Defense of the Earth (AK Press, 2006). Best is co-founder of the Institute for Critical Animal Studies (http://www.cala-online.org/) and Chief Editor of its online Journal for Critical Animal Studies. A strong advocate of applied philosophy and the ideal of the "public intellectual," Best has been active in many political causes and been interviewed by National Public Radio, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, BBC News, the Guardian Independent, The Chronicle of Higher Education, as well as media in Brazil, Barcelona, and France. Currently he is completing Animal Liberation and Moral Progress: The Struggle for Human Evolution (Rowman and Littlefield, 2008) and co-editing (with Nocella and Peter McLaren) a volume on academic repression in post-9/11 US. Many of his writings are posted at his website: http://www.drstevebest.org/.
