Our popular vegan potlucks and presentations take place every month at the C.K.E.L. Reception Hall on 2353 Rice Blvd. (near Rice University) in Houston. Parking is available at Rice Stadium for just $1 per vehicle.

For our March topic on Speciesism, we are pleased to present Professor Natalie Khazaal as our featured guest speaker!

Natalie Khazaal received a Ph.D. from UCLA and is now an assistant professor of International Studies at Texas A&M University. The title of her presentation is "From Crude Speciesism to Camouflaged Speciesism: How U.S. and Spanish Media Are Mutating to Conceal Non-human Perspectives and What We Should Do About It".   

 

NEWS Dr. Khazaal has compared news articles and op-eds in leading newspapers from English Spanish Arabic and Slavic speaking regions. After exploring the state of the field she suggests how a more informed thoughtful and responsible journalism can help correct the oppression of non-human animals. You won't want to miss this exciting and informative presentation!
