Vegan Activist, Author Carol J. Adams to Speak March 1
The women’s studies department will present a talk by feminist/vegan activist Carol J. Adams on Saturday, March 1, at 6 p.m. in the Founders Hall Gallery, followed by a sampling of vegan foods at 7 p.m. The talk and food tasting are free and open to the public.
Adams studies issues of vegetarianism, animal advocacy, domestic violence and sexual abuse, publishing close to 100 articles on these subjects in books, journals and magazines. She is particularly concerned with the intersection of violence against women and animal abuse, such as why woman-batterers harm animals and the implications of this.
Adams is the author of several books, including The Feminist Care Tradition in Animal Ethics: A Reader (co-edited with Josephine Donovan, 2007), The Pornography of Meat (2004), Living Among Meat Eaters: The Vegetarian’s Survival Handbook (2003), Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory (1999), Animals and Women: Feminist Theoretical Explorations (1995) and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals (1995).
