Irish vegan studies are poised for increasing relevance as climate change threatens the legitimacy and longevity of animal agriculture and widespread health problems related to animal product consumption disrupt long held nutritional ideologies. Already a top producer of greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union, Ireland has committed to expanding animal agriculture despite impending crisis. The nexus of climate change, public health, and animal welfare present a challenge to the hegemony of the Irish state and neoliberal European governance. Efforts to resist animal rights and environmentalism highlight the struggle to sustain economic structures of inequality in a society caught between a colonialist past and a globalized future. Animals in Irish Society: Interspecies Oppression and Vegan Liberation in Britain's First Colony (SUNY Press, 2021) explores the vegan Irish epistemology, one that can be traced along its history of animism, agrarianism, ascendency, adaptation, and activism. From its zoomorphic pagan roots to its legacy of vegetarianism, Ireland has been more receptive to the interests of other animals than is currently acknowledged. More than a land of "meat" and potatoes, Ireland is a relevant, if overlooked, contributor to Western vegan thought.Corey Lee Wrenn is Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Kent. She is the author of several books, including A Rational Approach to Animal Rights: Extensions in Abolitionist Theory (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016) and Piecemeal Protest: Animal Rights in the Age of Nonprofits (University of Michigan Press, 2019). Kyle Johannsen is a philosophy instructor at Trent University and Wilfrid Laurier University. His most recent book is Wild Animal Ethics: The Moral and Political Problem of Wild Animal Suffering (Routledge, 2021). Learn more about your ad choices.

Corey Lee Wrenn, "Animals in Irish Society: Interspecies Oppression and Vegan Liberation in Britain's First Colony" (SUNY Press, 2021)

Corey shares her research on the professionalisation of animal rights organisations and how this is detrimental to a radical abolitionist message. We explore the importance of an evidence based focus for effective activism, and why the science backs an interconnected approach. We discuss the sociology of the movement through a vegan feminist lens and look at how we can dismantle the misogyny within. Corey shares insights on how we can challenge the invisibilisation of non human animals in history through a re imagining and retelling of their stories.

With Dr Corey Lee Wrenn -  A RATIONAL AND RADICAL APPROACH TO ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISM - Episode 37

Corey Lee Wrenn is a UK-based American sociologist and scholar of social movements and human-nonhuman relations. She is a lecturer in the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research at the University of Kent. Corey says: “The magnitude of nonhuman suffering is such that activists can’t afford to take chances. My work is designed to take the guesswork out of social movement mobilization and animal rights activism, and I need your help to implement the findings.” Full show notes are here: https://sentientism.info/vegan-stuff-is-going-to-be-hot-sociologist-corey-lee-wrenn-new-sentientist-conversation  The video of our conversation is on Sentientism YouTube here.  In these Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what’s real?” &amp; “what matters?” Sentientism is “evidence, commitment &amp; compassion for all sentient beings.” We discuss (and much more): - The Vegan Feminist Network, The Vegan Society - Corey’s books: “A Rational Approach to Animal Rights“, “Piecemeal Protests”, Animal Rights in Ireland, Vegan Sociology, Vegan Feminism - Growing up atheist in the american “bible belt” south, surrounded by deeply religious culture and family - A cousin gifting a bible saying “I’m worried about your soul!” - Reading the bible – “a lot of animal killing… this isn’t for me” - The sociological concern about whether urbanisation and the de-emphasis of religion might leave a moral vacuum (e.g. Durkheim) - Being “a child of the human rights project” – individual freedoms (e.g. from suffering), equality, social justice - Mishka joins our conversation 🐶 - First animal protest at 8 years old “I crawled under my bed and wouldn’t come out” re: animal shelter euthanasia - Drawing pictures showing the turkey’s perspective at Thanksgiving - Growing up in a meat-eating, hunting culture as the “lone Appalachian vegan” - Vegetarian at 13 when realised “That was an actual animal” - Vegan on first day at university after leaving home - Granting moral consideration to all sentient beings regardless of category...
