This week we talk with Professor John Sorenson from the Department of Sociology at Brock University.

Sorenson teaches courses in Critical Animal Studies, globalization, and anti-racism. He received his HBA and MA from the University of Alberta and his PhD from York University in Social and Political Thought. He is currently working on a SSHRC-funded project on various ways of representing animals.

We talk with him about his most recent books, Ape and About Canada – Animal Rights as well as how he sees animal rights as a logical extension of anti-oppressive, social justice work more generally.
