Daniel de Almeida Pinto Kirjner

Daniel Kirjner has a Ph.d. in sociology from the University of Brasília, Brazil. His research focuses on links between the construction of masculinity and the glorification of violence against animals and women in contemporary capitalist societies. Since 2011, Daniel has offered his presentation, ?An Invisible Veil: A Feminist Look at Animal's Destinies? at Brazilian universities and social collectives. Recently, Daniel presented at the conference ?Neither Man or Beast: Patriarchy, Speciesism, and Deconstructing Oppressions?, and has had articles accepted for publication in journals and anthologies in Australia, United States and Brazil. He continues to learn about, question, and deconstruct masculinity in his own life in order to heighten his own awareness of predatory male behavior in the hope of being himself part of bringing change to the world.
