Mylan shares his journey from an upbringing in a family of hunters and pig farmers to philosophy professor and ethical vegan. We explore the importance of morality in achieving social change, and whether an understanding of 'rights based' theory is necessary for effective advocacy.   We hear how Mylan's work in animal, environmental and food ethics has informed his understanding of how we can connect to non-vegans through shared values and positive marketing strategies. And we explore the role of emotion in our moral considerations, and whether reasoned thinking alone is enough to effect behavioural change.
