Claudia Hirtenfelder
Doctor Claudia is a Geography PhD at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada. She is host of The Animal Turn Podcast (Subscribe!)
Claudia is an atheist (ex-Christian) and has a naturalistic worldview – although is cautious about defining “evidence and reasoning” too narrowly such that we might exclude more emotional or intuitive modes of thinking and neglect social contexts and personal experiences. She is vegan and has a sentiocentric moral scope.
Find our Sentientist Conversation here on the Sentientism YouTube and here on the Sentientism Podcast. I also had the pleasure of being Claudia’s guest on “The Animal Turn“. You can find our episode here.
