In honour of International Women’s Day on March 8th, we speak with acclaimed eco-feminist, writer and activist Carol J. Adams, who illustrates the many connections and intersections between feminism and animal rights.
In this show, we feature interviews with linguist and co-founder of Species Revolution Amanda Houdeschell on speciesist language and feminism and sociologist Dr. Corey Wrenn of the Vegan Feminist Network on intersectional awareness and solidarity across social justice issues.
“Vegan Batgirl” Connie Spence, a solo female activist, shares her vegan journey and what led her to create the “Vegan Batman Light”. She projects huge 75 x 75 ft. messages on the sides of buildings all across the US, from the Staples Centre in LA to a Water Tower in Oklahoma. She used Facebook Live to capture 70 projections, hundreds of conversations and thirty police interactions. Now uploaded to her YouTube channel, the videos have the feel of a reality TV series.
International Women’s Day. We feature an interview with Emily Gaarder, author of Women and the Animal Rights Movement. We also share a recent talk by Carol J. Adams entitled “Neither Man nor Beast: politics and the absent referent in 2014”.
