MAC1 Abstracts – Oral Presentations
Oral Presentation Abstracts OP001 Rights, Interests and Moral Standing: a critical examination of dialogue between Regan and Frey. Rebekah Humphreys Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom This paper aims to assess R. G. Frey’s analysis of Leonard Nelson’s argument (that links interests to rights). Frey argues that claims that animals have rights or interests have not been established. Frey’s contentions that animals have not been shown to have rights nor interests will be discussed in turn, but the main focus will be on Frey’s claim that animals have not been shown to have interests. One way Frey analyses this latter claim is by considering H. J. McCloskey’s denial of the claim and Tom Regan’s criticism of this denial. While Frey’s position on animal interests does not depend on McCloskey’s views, he believes that a consideration of McCloskey’s views will reveal that Nelson’s argument (linking interests to rights) has not been established as sound. My discussion (of Frey’s scrutiny of Nelson’s argument) will centre only on the dialogue between Regan and Frey in respect of McCloskey’s argument. OP002 Can Special Relations Ground the Privileged Moral Status of Humans Over Animals? Robert Jones California State University, Chico, United States Much contemporary philosophical work regarding the moral considerability of nonhuman animals involves the search for some set of characteristics or properties that nonhuman animals possess sufficient for their robust membership in the sphere of things morally considerable. The most common strategy has been to identify some set of properties intrinsic to the animals themselves. -
It Really Brightens up Hearty Vegetables, Like Broccolini, and Something Magical Happens When It’S Combined with All That Sauteed Garlic
And thank you for the support! A zine is about the here and now. As I am typing this we are seven months into the pandemic. The restaurant has been open for a bit, mostly for delivery. We have a little outdoor seating, in the form of a few hijacked parking spots out front. There are tables up and down the block and people don’t mind much. That’s how things are now. The city is allowing some indoor dining, but we won’t be doing that any time soon. But let’s go back a few decades for the back back story... Since the 80s, I’ve been cooking vegan food in Brooklyn as a way to bring people together. In the form of feminist potlucks or hosting brunches at any of the two dozen apartments I’ve lived in all over the borough. Feeding people in the park through volunteer organizations, or at fur-free Friday in the 90s. Even just cooking some latkes for my family at Hannukah. Really, any opportunity to serve people vegan food and I’m in. So having a vegan restaurant in Brooklyn, just a few blocks from where my grandfather grew up actually, was a natural culmination of passion, community and a sense of duty. A few years ago, when I was well into my forties, I was lucky enough to partner with Sara and Erica, whose family also has had ties to the neighborhood for decades and who also just want everyone to eat vegan. Well, great! A meal is born.. -

Interface: a journal for and about social movements Article Volume 4 (2): 438 - 458 (November 2012) Wrenn, Abolitionist Animal Rights Abolitionist animal rights: critical comparisons and challenges within the animal rights movement Corey Wrenn Abstract The abolitionist movement is an emergent and radical approach to nonhuman animal rights. Calling for a complete cessation in nonhuman animal use through the abolishing of property status for nonhuman animals and an adoption of veganism and nonviolence, this approach stands in stark contrast to mainstream approaches such as humane production and welfare reform. This paper describes the goals and stances of abolitionism; the basic debate between abolitionism and other nonhuman animal rights movements; and the current state, challenges, and future prospects for abolitionism. It is argued that abolitionism, as developed by Francione, is the only morally consistent approach for taking the interests of nonhuman animals seriously. -

You are What You Eat!?: Television Cooking Shows, Consumption, and Lifestyle Practices as Adult Learning Robin Redmon Wright, University of Texas at San Antonio Jennifer A. Sandlin, Arizona State University Abstract: A discussion of the public pedagogy of “celebrity chef” cooking shows, their promotion of consumer life-styles, and alternative cooking shows as sites of resistance to those lifestyles. Purpose of the Study Noam Chomsky (2003) has led an ongoing discussion about how a few multinational corporations have “manufactured the consent” of the American public for undemocratic public policies, environmentally damaging lifestyles, and oppressive cultural norms—despite the fact that such ideologically-laden actions are in sharp conflict with the interests of the majority of the population, the health of the culture, and the sustainability of the planet. -
Beyond Anthropocentrism: Critical Animal Studies and the Political Economy of Communication [1]
The Political Economy of Communication 4(2), 54–72 © The Author 2016 http://www.polecom.org Beyond Anthropocentrism: Critical Animal Studies and the Political Economy of Communication [1] Nuria Almiron, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona Keywords: anthropocentrism, speciesism, political economy of communication, ethics Abstract This article argues that the political economy of communication is ready and ethically obliged to expand its moral vision beyond human life, as other disciplines of the social sciences and humanities have already done. Such an expanded moral vision does not mean pushing human suffering to the background, but rather realizing that humans only form part of the planet, and are not above it. Not assigning individuals of other species the same moral consideration we do human beings has no ethical grounding and is actually deeply entangled with our own suffering within capitalist societies – it being particularly connected with human inequality, power relations, and economic interests. Decentering humanity to embrace a truly egalitarian view is the next natural step in a field driven by moral values and concerned with the inequality triggered by power relations. To make this step forward, this article considers the tenets of critical animal studies (CAS), an emerging interdisciplinary field which embraces traditional critical political economy concerns, including hegemonic power and oppression, from a non- anthropocentric moral stance. Critical media and communication scholars are concerned with what prevents human equality and social justice from blossoming. More particularly, they examine the fundamental role media and communication play in preventing or promoting social change. Those scholars devoted to the political economy of communication (PEC) focus upon the structural power relations involved in capitalism or, in Vincent Mosco’s words, in the “power relations that mutually constitute the production, distribution and consumption of resources, including communication resources” (2009: 2). -
Vleesconsumptie En Vegafobie Een Exploratie Van De Sociale Kenmerken Van Vleeseters, Vegafoben En Hun Omgeving
Universiteit Antwerpen Faculteit Sociale Wetenschappen Academiejaar 2016 – 2017 MASTERPROEF VLEESCONSUMPTIE EN VEGAFOBIE EEN EXPLORATIE VAN DE SOCIALE KENMERKEN VAN VLEESETERS, VEGAFOBEN EN HUN OMGEVING Els Van Doorslaer Master in de Sociologie Promotor: Prof. Dr. F. Vandermoere Medebeoordelaar: Prof. Dr. G. Verschraegen Masterproef voorgelegd met het oog op het behalen van de graad van Master in de Sociologie Abstract This research examines the differences between meat- and non-meat-eaters. In addition, attention is paid to vegaphobia as the discrimination and aversion of meat-eaters over non-meat-eaters. Using survey data, a comparison will be made of meat- and non-meat-eaters in Belgium (N = 996). Next to the sociodemographic characteristics, the social environment is highlighted. Descriptive results of the sociodemographic features describe that meat-eaters (N = 842) are more often male and low- or middle-educated. Almost half of these meat-eaters have higher than average results on vegaphobia. The findings indicate that gender, education and age directly correlate with vegaphobia. The high vegaphobe meat-eaters are mainly male, lower educated and relatively older. In current times of attention to less meat eating, the motives of meat-eaters for their diet are examined. Taste, insufficient vegetarian alternatives and substitutes, disinterest, too expensive and religion/spirituality are the reasons why meat-eaters don’t turn into vegetarians. In contrast to different studies, attention is also paid at the social environment on meat-consumption and vegaphobia. This study demonstrates the important role of the social environment in explaining the variance in meat-consumption and vegaphobia. The influence of the social environment is first measured by the presence of a vegetarian in household, friends or family. -
Teaching Portfolio Je↵Sebo
Teaching Portfolio Je↵Sebo Contents Teaching and Inclusion Statements • Teaching and Outreach Experience • Student Evaluations and Comments • Syllabi of Courses Instructed • Teaching Statement My aim as a teacher is to show my students the value of living the examined life – of challenging our basic assumptions about the world in a rigorous and systematic way, developing a coherent set of beliefs and values, and living up to those beliefs and values as best we can. In my graduate courses, undergraduate courses, and outreach courses, I try to accomplish this aim in three main ways. First, I pick topics, readings, and assignments that approach ethical questions from an interdisciplinary and intersectional perspective. I also emphasize that philosophy is a holistic discipline where even the most abstract and seemingly esoteric arguments can have important implications for what to believe and what to do in everyday life. This allows my students to see how the study of philosophy is relevant to what they care about, no matter what that happens to be. Second, I lead discussions in a light-hearted way, with plenty of jokes, personal anecdotes, and pop culture references. But I also make it clear how much these issues mean to me, in a way that hopefully conveys to my students that we can practice philosophy well without losing our sense of humor or our perspective on what matters in everyday life. This allows my students to relate to me as well as to the course material more than they otherwise might, given the gravity of many of the topics we discuss.
