Donna Haraway is known as an activist and a scholar of the socialist and feminist, pro-queer and anti-military left; especially for her 1984 essay, A Cyborg Manifesto. Haraway is Professor Emerita in the history of consciousness at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she taught for many years. Her PhD at Yale was in biology, placing her in a position to cross-pollinate science with the humanities and form intersections between gender, class and technology. Most recently she has extended the scope across species, proposing the term Chthulucene in place of the Anthropocene to emphasise that we (the anthropos) share the planet, and its fate should therefore not be seen only from a human perspective. Haraway practices an epistemology of science and socialist feminism, to question what matters we use to think matters – and proposes fiction (also fabulation and worlding) for engaging current impasses.
