Kat Poje is a Faculty Fellow in the Department of Environmental Studies at New York University. Her research focuses on the historical dynamics of violence and care in human-animal relationships, particularly examining how eugenics, ableism, and technology have shaped American environmental policies and movements. She holds a PhD in History of Science from Harvard University (2024), an MTS in Religion from Harvard Divinity School (2018), and a BA in Religion from Haverford College (2016).
Her first book project, Merciful Destruction: Ethics, Technology, and Animal Euthanasia in the United States, 19th Century to the Present, integrates disability studies, feminist care ethics, and the history of technology. This work has been supported by grants from the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History (Harvard University), the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Library Company of Philadelphia, and the Culture and Animals Foundation (with North Carolina State University Libraries).
Her research bridges environmental history, animal welfare activism, and the ethical implications of technological interventions in human-animal relationships.
