I'm thrilled to share that I am the winner of one of @LeverhulmeTrust's 2026 Philip Leverhulme Prizes. Among other things, I will spend the prize money supporting a series of conferences on animal politics.

I'm very excited to share my first academic publication. I basically argue that we should eat cultivated meat made out from human flesh rather than animal flesh. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm in HuffPost today on veganism and the left/right divide in politics.
'My worry is that in all this effort to tie veganism to this or that political position, or to treat "vegan" as a kind of slur against one’s political opponents, the real losers will be animals.'
Experts unpack why conservatives tend to eschew anyone who rebukes meat (which Talarico hasn't even fully done). huffpost.com/entry/is-james-…
I'm pleased to share that I'm now an associate editor of the Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy, which is a triple-blind, 'diamond' open access journal in moral, social, political, and legal philosophy.
