Minding Animals International
The CFCUL is a partner of Minding Animals International.
Minding Animals International (MAI) provides an avenue for the transdisciplinary field of Animal Studies to be more responsive to the protection of animals. MAI aims to enable discourse between the various interests within this rapidly developing transdisciplinary field in ways that will improve the status of non-human animals and alleviate nonhuman animal exploitation. As such, MAI facilitates research in Animal Studies as a conduit of non-governmental politics and action. MAI acts as a bridge between academia and advocacy and is a network of now more than 3,000 academics, artists, activists and advocates, dedicated to the study and protection of all planetary life through the advancement of Animal Studies. That includes our distinguished patrons like Marc Bekoff, Jane Goodall, Peter Singer and John Coetzee. Minding Animals wishes From Grooming To Speaking well, and welcomes all conference delegates to contact Minding Animals to join us on the road to nonhuman animal protection.
