Christopher Sebastian explores how historical ideas around race and species influenced racial violence and animal violence and how the rejection of animal products challenges racial hierarchies and white supremacy. The talk discusses the concept of a culture war, examining recent examples related to veganism and meat consumption. Video produced by: Apehouse www.apehouse.at Christopher Sebastian is a technical writer, journalist, and digital media researcher. He has also lectured at Columbia University, Cornell University, the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard University, and Oxford. He writes about food, politics, media, and pop culture. Although his focus lies primarily in animal rights theory, Christopher includes perspectives from a variety of socio-political and economic backgrounds. As human and animal liberation frequently overlap, he says there is no reason to limit the scope of our knowledge to single-issue perspectives. Among others, Christopher examines current and historical connections between Black liberation and animal liberation in U.S. American culture and throughout the global west. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
