COMPAS Panel: Food as Animals

COMPAS: Food
October 10, 2025
11:30 am - 1:00 pm
Thompson Library 165

Event Description

This COMPAS Panel, Food as Animals, explores the moral and political dimensions of raising and killing animals for consumption. We will examine the social and political dimensions to arguments for and against this practice, including by examining the gender and racial aspects to the cultural conversation around meat eating and veganism, and by better understanding the economic and environmental systems that exist to support it.

This event is part of the Center for Ethics and Human Values' 2025-26 COMPAS Program on the theme of Food.
