Expanding an ethic of care for animals, the environment and people.

United Poultry Concerns 7th Annual Conference

"Inadmissible Comparisons"

NYU Law School, New York, NY

Videos of speaker presentations are now available for this recent United Poultry Concerns conference. "Inadmissible Comparisons" asks: Can the Holocaust be compared with African American slavery or the Native American genocide? Can any of these experiences be related to those of animals on today’s factory farms? Recently, a number of writers and thinkers have sought to draw parallels between the suffering of one group of individuals and another and incurred the wrath of those who consider their experience unique. This conference explores why such comparisons are offered and asks whether they should or should not be made. It examines the rhetoric and images of those comparisons and the agendas that might lie behind them, while interrogating the need for comparative thinking in the first place.

Speakers include Carol Adams, M. Ashanti Alston, Karen Davis, Ph.D., Pattrice Jones, Roberta Kalechofsky, Ph.D., Charles Patterson, Ph.D., and Andrea Smith, Ph.D.
