This two-day event explores the innovative field of Vegan Sociology. Through round table discussions focussed on key areas of interest in the Australia/Aotearoa region, participants will debate the key issues relevant to scholars in the field and develop a research agenda for Vegan Sociology in the region. Discussions will be led by field experts, with topics including:
- Human-animal-environment connections in Australia/Aotearoa
- Understanding and reimagining “pest” animals
- Managing differing (and sometimes clashing) values and uses of space between human and nonhuman animals
- The role of emotions in working against animal exploitation
- Companion animal liberation in the Australian/Aotearoa context
- What would a decolonised Vegan Sociology look like Down Under?
Scholars whose work aligns with vegan sociology, critical animal studies or related fields are invited to join this in person discussion based event. If you are interested in participating please send a 300 word expression of interest to zoei.sutton@flinders.edu.au outlining how your work aligns with the event theme and why you would like to participate in these discussions by 1st September 2024.
