THE 2021 FESTIVAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE
RUNNING 1-30 NOVEMBER 2021
RUNNING 1-30 NOVEMBER 2021
A panel of experts will address some of the most common issues raised by meat eaters, focusing on health, environmental and economic advantages of this choice. It will also aim to create a dialogue among people embracing different food choices, promoting a better understanding of people’s motivations about different lifestyles, above and beyond reciprocal stereotypes.
Can we all get meat – free? How difficult is it? Is it dangerous? Why should we do it? What advantages does this bring to the individual and the society? Meat reduction is a familiar theme nowadays, but it is still met with resistance, despite the several advantages it brings.
The session will be led by Leyla De Amicis (Unigersity of Glasgow)
Speakers will include:
Dr Esther Papies (Reader at School of Psychology, University of Glasgow)
Dr Steve Loughnan (Reader at School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences, University of Edinburgh)
