 Under the Skin We’re All Kin: Reading the Minds of Animals July 20, 2018 | 9:30 am On Bioneers Calling someone an “animal” means they’re less than human – not worthy of respect, rights, or even of life itself.

Clearly it’s high time to think differently about just what it means to be an animal. Can we know what it’s like to be other-than-human? How can we see into the minds of animals?

 Andrew Pulrang on Disability and the Election July 24, 2018 | 6:30pm On Counterspin People with disabilities are “severely underrepresented in elected office,” which goes a way toward explaining why—in 2018—disabled people’s full inclusion in all aspects of social life is still largely framed as a matter of “accommodation” rather than rights.
