Loredana Loy is a Post-Doctoral Associate, Disinformation, Animal Agriculture, and Climate Change, at the University of Miami. She is interested in the ways systems of power and politics intersect with cultural ideas to shape transformative macro-trends, policy, and public discourse. Her current projects focus on the role of the animal agriculture industry in climate change politics, and the mechanisms behind public responses to climate-related recommendations involving individualization of responsibility.
