Serrin Rutledge-Prior in Talking Animals, Law & Philosophy

Please join us for our next event in this term's Talking Animals, Law & Philosophy series, organised by the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law. Serrin Rutledge-Prior will join us to talk about "Expanding the Ethical Foundations of Animal Law and Policy". The event will take place on 27th February 2024 from 5-6.30 pm (UK time) on Zoom. Serrin Rutledge-Prior is a Research Fellow with the Australian National University’s Crawford School of Public Policy. Her work focuses on how animals environment can be better represented in the politico-legal sphere, and how liberal democracies should accommodate those who advocate for animals. In her presentation, she will discuss the research she is currently conducting as a Visiting Researcher at the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law on the kinds of moral frameworks that underpin animal welfare law and policy, and how these frameworks can be broadened to better recognise animals’ agency, dignity, and relationality – and not merely their sentience. This event is open to all. The Talking Animals, Law & Philosophy series is made possible through generous sponsorship by the International Society for Animal Rights (ISAR). The work of the Centre is supported by the Brooks Institute for Animal Rights Law & Policy. For more information, see https://animalrightslaw.org/talkinganimals
