Claudia talks to lawyer and philosopher Gary L. Francione: The Abolitionist Approach to Animal Rights about abolition. Gary provides an overview of how ideas related to animals have emerged and changed since the 19th century. This includes the emergence of animal welfare, animal rights, and abolitionism. Throughout the interview Gary asserts that animal welfare and animal rights will not achieve anything until there is a paradigm shift whereby animals are no longer understood as property, food, or things to use.

In their brief editorial, Russell and Spannring bring light to a tendency of sometimes treating animals as novelties in research without taking seriously their material circumstances and life-worlds.

They ask an important question - what's in it for the animals in this so called "animal turn"?

They conclude by saying: "As Helena Pedersen (2019) has argued, much animal-focused educational research still fails to ‘stand with the animal herself’ and is not ‘a sincere act of solidarity with animals’ Celebrating naturacultural entanglements without taking seriously the implications of human supremacy and the power of the animal industrial complex impedes the fundamental transformation needed to support multispecies flourishing."

This is an important reminder for all of us who work with and think about animals in our scholarship.

With animals in mind, Dinesh outlines how violence can be intersubjective, structural, or epistemic. He delves into how violence and coercion are tools used to try and achieve domination and that there is a political imperative to call violence what it is.

In the latest episode, Angie Pepper chose to read a quote from the work of Gary Francione (Gary L. Francione: The Abolitionist Approach to Animal Rights)

She reflects on the numerous conflicts that arise out of our relations with animals, including labour and companionship relations. Angie believes we need to stop and think about implications and root causes instead of simply responding to (and likely creating) problems.

Claudia launches Season 6 by talking to Will Kymlicka about politics. They discuss how animals remain largely sidelined in political philosophical thought, as compared to other areas of ethics and social theory. Will delves into three different models for how to bring animals into politics: politics “on behalf of” animals, where humans represent animals; politics “by” animals, where wild animals exercise self-government; and politics “with” animals, where humans and animals do politics together and co-author decisions. As examples of joint politics, they discuss recent efforts to share power with domesticated animals in farmed animal sanctuaries, in the family and in the workplace.

Will Kymlicka is the Canada Research Chair in Political Philosophy in the Philosophy Department at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada, where he has taught since 1998. He is the co-author with Sue Donaldson of Zoopolis: A Political Theory of Animal Rights, published by Oxford University Press in 2011, and now translated into German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Turkish, Dutch, Chinese, Korean, and Polish. Zoopolis argues that animals belong at the heart of democratic political theory - defending rights of citizenship for domesticated animals and sovereignty rights for wild animals – and its ideas have helped launch the recent `political turn’ in animal ethics. Will and Sue have continued developing their model of a zoopolis, and its implications for animal advocacy, legal reform, and alliances with other social justice movements. Their recent work has appeared in Politics and Animals; The Philosophy and Politics of Animal Liberation; Journal of Animal Ethics; Canadian Perspectives on Animals and the Law; the Oxford Handbook of Animal Studies. Will co-directs the Animals in Philosophy, Politics, Law and Ethics research group at Queen’s University, including its postdoctoral fellowship program, and teaches courses in animals and political theory and in animals and the law.

Cow with Ear Tag #1389 is a theoretically and empirically rich book that manages to capture the effects of commodification on the lives and bodies of cows. Kathryn Gillespie is a talented writer who captures the complexity and the cruelty of the dairy industry in the United States. She charts how males and females are differently positioned in the industry, how semen is extracted, calves discarded, and mother cows used. The effects of a life of commodification are visible on the body of the cow with ear tag #1389 whose story the book is named after.

Learn more about the book from
https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/C/bo28907793.html

Kathryn Gillespie was a guest on The Animal Turn and discussed "intimate geography" in Season 2, which was focused on "Animals and Experience." It was a captivating discussion and can be accessed here: https://www.theanimalturnpodcast.com/s2e5
