Delve into Dinesh Wadiwel's paper, "Challenging Epistemic Violence." Pro-animal advocacy often relies on revealing the truth of human violence against animals through imagery or information. Yet, "epistemic violence" can obstruct change by normalizing animal cruelty. This paper explores how to confront epistemic violence as part of the politics of institutional transformation.

Perlo’s new article on “Animal Class” identifies the animal class as subaltern – paying particular attention to processes and states of powerlessness, epistemic injustice, moral and political invisibility, and colonization.
