This topic of moving beyond a purely individual focus in animal advocacy is something I've been thinking about a lot over the last few years, so it's nice to have a lot of my ideas on the topic brought together in the one place in this book chapter: taylorfrancis.com/chapters/e…
Me and my colleague Ruby Ramsden will be presenting the free online event 'Structural approaches to #vegan advocacy in Japan and Australia'.
Fri, 12 Sep, 12:30pm - 1:30pm AEST

You can get a taste of the book 'Human-Animal Relationships in Times of Pandemic and Climate Crisis' in this recording of our online launch. I summarise my chapter Incorporating a structural approach into animal advocacy from 20.58-24.09 of the video: youtube.com/watch?v=2PIVRtus…

Our latest show ft @lottiegasp & @NickPende covers #EffectiveAltruism - donating to organisations that do the greatest good. We discuss animals being sidelined in some EA resources & we evaluate the evaluations of the most effective animal charities @3CR 3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/…
This chapter comes out of many discussions with activists and other academics on @FOSradio, multiple talks at @VeganSociology conferences, as well as my direct involvement as an activist in the actions covered. @AustSoc @tasaanimals @unimelbsoc
Well done on the book @zoei_sutton 🥳🥳🥳 I look forward to exploring the other chapters! taylorfrancis.com/books/edit…
Thanks to @DrCoreyLeeWrenn whose essay inspired this show: coreyleewrenn.com/banning-li…
Some of the specific issues we cover on the show include: alliances between animal activists and slaughterhouse workers, “animal nationalism” and debates about the campaign within the movement.
Today's show is up! In light of the recent legislation to phase out Australia's live sheep trade, we reflect on the history of the #stopliveexport campaign and what activists can learn from it #liveexport @3CR 3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/…

On our latest show @lottiegasp @NickPende & Adam discuss an article on AI predicting most of the world will be #vegan by 2075. We cover problems of using AI to predict anything but discuss working towards a societal shift away from animal agriculture @3CR 3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/…

The video of my talk from #IAVS2023 is now up on the @VeganSociology YT channel.
I discuss my own experiences attempting to put intersectionality into practice as an animal activist and the potential to write about this in sociological literature.
