Prateek Gautam
A Dalit's Perspective: Casteism and Speciesism
This talk will discuss the interconnections of casteism and speciesism, including casteisms' dependence on
nonhuman animal exploitation to justify both human and nonhuman oppression
(a term coined casteist speciesism).
***
Prateek is an activist, post graduate student, and musician based in India.
Margaret Robinson
Decolonizing Body, Mind, and Spirit
This talk will examine how approaching veganism from an Indigenous (L’nu/Mi’kmaw)
perspective can help undo colonial damage and support food sovereignty.
***
Margaret is a two-spirit L’nu scholar from Eski'kewaq, Nova Scotia
and a member of the Lennox Island First Nation.
Her work examines the impact of intersecting oppressions and draws on critical,
postcolonial, and queer theories, intersectionality, and third wave feminism.
