October 30, 2015 Dallas Rising: Language and Speciesism


In this short presentation, long time animal rights activist and writer, Dallas Rising, will address how the language we use to talk about animals shapes the way we think about them and ultimately how we treat them.
 
She'll address issues of framing, euphemisms, and the difference a simple, maybe even apparently arbitrary word choice can change the meaning of the ideas and ideologies we present or support.
 
This talk will be of interest to anyone interested in the way our society treats animals and word enthusiasts alike.
