With close attention to the dominant practices through which children encounter animals and mainstream representations of animals in children's culture, this presentation and Q&A based on the new book, Our Children and Other Animals: The Cultural Construction of Human-Nonhuman Animal Relations in Childhood, reveals the interconnectedness of studies of childhood, culture and human-animal relations. |

This chapter (below) may be of interest to those thinking of going to Matthew and Kate's session in Dublin.
The Outhouse is located at the top end of Capel Street, Dublin 1. It is a great place for meetings - superb and safe space.

this should be an important an thought provoking event .
to understand how an xploitative culture has shaped the ways in which we relate to one another is vital when it comes to resisting such xploitation . we r conditioned to think instrumentaly about those around us ,an our default reactions to all those who dont pass as 'normative' are usualy violent ones . understanding our own socialization gives us power over that prosess , an makes us aware of our agensy an the moral imperative to rebel against it .
thanx for posting this, Roger !! what do u feel the relevanse of this event wil be ,in terms of the intersectional message an xpansive view of veganism which VIP are commited to ?
i personaly found alot that spoke to me about socialy imposed restricitv/xploitative gender roles , for xample .
