Alasdair Cochrane is Professor of Political Theory at the University of Sheffield. His primary research interests lie in the area of 'animal politics', which involves thinking not only about how politics impacts upon and harms the lives of non-human animals, but also how the tools of political power - political ideas, structures, institutions and policies - might be harnessed to ensure that they enjoy flourishing lives. He has published 4 single-authored books, and numerous articles and chapters on the issue. His OUP book, Sentientist Politics, won the Susan Strange best book prize for 2019.
