AR Conference 2010?
Who’s attending the Animal Rights Conference 2010? I live in D.C., so I’m planning to attend. I don’t know where I’ll be after I graduate, so this may be my only chance. And I know lots of cool people attend this; I would like to meet cool people!
They say it’s in D.C., but technically it’s in Virginia, five miles south of D.C., so I will be taking the free shuttle.
Wish I had been able to attend the critical animal studies conference in New York this month, but I was too busy with schoolwork. Fortunately, the AR conference is during the summer. I did invite a speaker to come talk about connections between feminism and animals rights this month, so that was my consolation.
Culture, Politics, and Animals 
I was asked to give a talk on veganism – as it relates to sexuality, the gender binary, and specism. I am trying to educate myself more on the topic to give a pretty solid talk. Got any suggestions? I would like to talk sometime if you want.
Sure, we can chat some time. After this semester is over will be a good time.
Have you read any books on the topic? Some book suggestions: “The Sexual Politics of Meat” and “Animals and Women.” Also, check out some of the articles on VeganIdeal.org. On the left side of Ida’s blog, you’ll find tags “sex & gender,” “sexuality,” and “trans/gender identity.”
