KEYNOTE Plenary Panel
The Intersectional
Future of Animal Law
Social
movements rarely operate in isolation, but have much to gain from their
intersecting insights, challenges, and experiences. As the Canadian
animal law movement contemplates its past and considers its future,
attendees are invited to reflect on the intersections between animal law
and other equality-seeking social movements—including those that
advocate for gender equality, racial equality, Indigenous rights, and
disability justice.
