Donna Haraway is the author of The Haraway Reader (Routledge, 2004), The Companion Species Manifesto: Dogs, People, and Significant Otherness (Prickly Paradigm Press, distributed by the University of Chicago Press, 2003), Crystals, Fabrics and Fields: Metaphors of Organicism in Twentieth-Century Developmental Biology (Yale University Press, 1976; North Atlantic Books, 2004), Primate Visions: Gender, Race, and Nature in the World of Modern Science (Routledge, 1989; Verso, 1992), Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature (Routledge, 1991; Free Association Books, 1991), and Modest_Witness @Second_Millennium. FemaleMan(c) Meets OncoMouse(tm). Feminism and Technoscience (New York and London: Routledge, 1997). Her current book project is titled When Species Meet (forthcoming with the University of Minnesota Press in 2007). This book explores philosophical, historical, cultural, personal, technoscientific, and biological aspects of animal-human inter- and intra-actions. Dogs lead the way; but strong supporting roles are reserved for dugongs, tigers, chickens, cats, squid, animal people, micro-organisms, and whales with videocams. Haraway's research develops ethnographic and textual approaches to health and genetics science and activism, as well as to sports, commerce, fiction, law, and other aspects of animal-human relationships within technoscientific worlds.
In September 2000, Haraway was awarded the highest honor given by the Society for Social Studies of Science, the J.D. Bernal Prize, for lifetime contributions to the field.
