2. "One Struggle: Intersectionality and Critical Animal Studies" Conference. Saturday, October 20th, 11:00am. UC Berkeley Tan Oak Room on the 4th Floor in the MLK Building.
We have witnessed a surge in academic scholarship that examines how human identities, lived realities and histories are inextricably linked to the positioning of animals in human societies. The field of Critical Animal Studies (CAS) formed to investigate and challenge the complex structural, institutional and discursive dynamics surrounding human-animal relationships. CAS exists to facilitate the end of both human and nonhuman exploitation, oppression and domination based on this intersectional analysis of human and animal oppression. Hosted by the Institute for Critical Animal Studies, the first interdisciplinary scholarly nonprofit dedicated to furthering CAS in higher education, the conference will contribute to the formation of this new and exciting field of study and encourage critical dialogue about its potentials.
