This episode's guest is Dr Jack Waverley, a Senior Lecturer in Fashion Marketing in the Department of Materials at the University of Manchester in the UK. His academic background is in marketing and consumer research, and he’s interested in exploring how these disciplines can promote the interests of all animals, and not just humans. In this episode, we discuss his article ‘Organs or bodies? Toward an equitable, embodied, and animal-inclusive diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda’, which appeared open access in the journal Consumption Markets & Culture in 2024.
This episode is proudly sponsored by the Animal Politics book series, from Sydney University Press.
In his answers to the quick questions, Jack mentioned Peter Singer's Animal Liberation and Tom Regan's Case for Animal Rights, as well as the 2008 article 'Figuring companion-species consumption: A multi-site ethnography of the post-canine Afghan hound', by Shona Bettany and Rory Daly.
