Sexual Politics of Meat Author, Carol Adams, to visit RIT
Carol Adams, nationally-known author of the ground-breaking feminist-vegan
work, The Sexual Politics of Meat and other books, will visit RIT on Thursday,
February 11, 2010. At 4:00 p.m., Adams will give a lecture and slide
presentation in the Faculty Commons of the College of Liberal Arts, Bldg. 6.
The talk is Free and open to the public. Following the presentation, Carol
Adams' books will be available for purchase and signing.
As an undergraduate at the University of Rochester in the early 1970s, Adams
worked to bring women's studies courses to campus. She actively protested the
Vietnam War, and received a Masters of divinity from Yale University. For many
years, she served as Executive Director of the Chautauqua County Rural
Ministry, Inc., in Dunkirk NY, an advocacy and service not-for-profit agency
addressing issues of poverty, racism, and sexism. Today, she makes her home in
the area of Dallas, Texas.
In addition to her pioneering work, The Sexual Politics of Meat (which this
year is being re-issued in a 20th anniversary edition), Adams is author of many
other books, including: The Pornography of Meat, How to Eat Like a Vegetarian,
and Living Among Meat Eaters. She is working on a book about Jane Austen.
Carol Adams' visit is co-sponsored by the Animal Welfare Trust, Inc. and the RIT
Department of English. For further information, contact the Department of
