Professor Hessler to Speak at PSU

Date: January 21 2010, 7:00pm Location: Portland State University, Smith Memorial Student Union Room 298

As advertised by the Portland Center for Public Humanities at PSU:

“We are animals who must eat, but should we eat animals?  If we ‘eating animals’ are to be sustainable, is eating animals sustainable?  Do ‘eating animals’ need to eat animals who eat animals?  This roundtable assembles a diverse group of experts from the fields of philosophy, law, and meat production and butchery for a lively discussion of what is increasingly being recognized as one of the most vexing set of issues of our time.

Eating Animals is a roundtable conversation with Camas Davis (former Food Editor, Portland Monthly), Kathy Hessler (Center for Animal Law Studies, Lewis & Clark Law School), Ramona Ilea (Professor of Philosophy, Pacific University). Moderated by Alastair Hunt (Professor of English, Portland State University).”
