ShARC Podcast: Christie Oliver-Hobley Interviews Steve Baker by Sheffield Animal Studies Research Centre (ShARC)

In this episode, Christie Oliver-Hobley interviews Steve Baker. Steve Baker is a Norwich-based artist and writer. He is Professor of Research for Art and Media at the University of Derby, and Emeritus Professor of Art History at the University of Central Lancashire.

Christie asks Steve about his recent exhibition, Fieldwork (curated by Maria Lux, Sheffield, April 2019). They discuss animal studies, how Steve got into the field, issues surrounding representation of nonhuman others, plus how artistic work might inform theoretical practice, and vice versa. If you listen to the end you'll even get to find out Steve's favourite animal(s)!
