  • Vegan Feminism and the Critical Role of Education. Interview with Corey L
    2/22/2020 Vegan Feminism and Education - Interview with Corey L. Wrenn EN - equality for all beings - BLOG RESOURCES Calendar Shop About Vegan Feminism and the Critical Role of Education. Interview with Corey L. Wrenn. February 22, 2020 | India Dr. Corey Lee Wrenn is an academic scholar and lecturer of Sociology with the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research at the University of Kent. In July 2013, she founded the Vegan Feminist Network as an online platform to make vegan feminist theory more available to non-academics. In this interview she talks about the importance of vegan feminism, the role education can play in fighting oppression, and how she incorporates intersectional social justice praxis in her teaching. Q: When and how did you first into contact with veganism and how has your outlook on veganism changed since? My first connection with veganism was through PETA literature. I was vegetarian since the age of 13 in the early 90s; these were the days before the internet, so I wrote to PETA and received some informational pamphlets. As soon as I learned how my nonvegan food choices hurt other animals, I was ready to opt out of dairy. I’ve now been vegan for about 20 years. My outlook hasn’t changed much as I got into radical vegan politics pretty early on and I’ve only grown from there. Q: You founded the Vegan Feminist Network (VFN) in 2013. What prompted you to start the project and how has it evolved over the years? In 2012, I started teaching gender at Colorado State University.

    ABORTION AND ANIMAL RIGHTS SHERRY F. COLB AND MICHAEL C. DORF BEATING HEARTS CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON ANIMALS: THEORY, CULTURE, SCIENCE, AND LAW CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON ANIMALS: THEORY, CULTURE, SCIENCE, AND LAW Series Editors: Gary L. Francione and Gary Steiner The emerging interdisciplinary field of animal studies seeks to shed light on the nature of animal experience and the moral status of animals in ways that overcome the limitations of traditional approaches. Recent work on animals has been characterized by an increasing recognition of the importance of crossing disciplinary boundaries and exploring the affini- ties as well as the differences among the approaches of fields such as philosophy, law, sociology, political theory, ethology, and literary studies to questions pertaining to animals. This recognition has brought with it an openness to rethinking the very terms of critical inquiry and the traditional assumptions about human being and its relationship to the animal world. The books published in this series seek to contribute to con- temporary reflections on the basic terms and methods of criti- cal inquiry by focusing on fundamental questions arising out of the relationships and confrontations between humans and nonhuman animals, and ultimately to enrich our appreciation of the nature and ethical significance of nonhuman animals by providing a forum for the interdisciplinary exploration of questions and problems that have traditionally been confined within narrowly circumscribed disciplinary boundaries.
