I'll be speaking as a panelist about the importance of institutional choices at this year's Reducetarian Summit in Atlanta, GA. This conference brings together scholars, activists, restaurateurs, entrepreneurs, and non-profit leaders committed to ending factory farming. Sign up here!
An animal ethics event I organized in collaboration with Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge as a part of the Maynard Adams Fellowship for the Public Humanities. Participants got to meet the animals, learn about philosophy, and enjoy plant-based food.
After the success of Who Counts Morally, Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge and I organized a follow up interactive philosophy event dedicated to consumer ethics. Does my decision to purchase or boycott meat have an effect on animal suffering in factory farms? Does it matter whether my action changes the outcome?
