Hello ecofem! I'm not sure how many of you are in the Western New York, USA, area, but in case you are, I am bringing the awesome feminist/vegetarian thinker/writer/activist Carol J. Adams to my school, the University of Rochester, and I'd love you all to come. She will be giving the Sexual Politics of Meat Slideshow, which is an ecofeminist analysis of the connections between sexism, racism, and speciesism. The slideshow will explore the ways in which women, especially women of color, are depicted as animals, or animal-like, and the way that animals, especially animals destined to become "meat", are represented as female or as sex objects. it will answer the question, how does someone become a piece of meat? It is Tuesday, April 18th, at 7pm in the Gowen Room of Wilson Commons at UR. A reception and book signing (free vegan food!) will follow on the 4th floor of Wilson Commons. If you need directions or a place to stay or anything, please just e-mail me. I'm so excited to bring some ecofeminist action to my boring uptight school! lagusta
