EAA reading group: The Effective Animal Advocacy movement

The Effective Animal Advocacy reading group works its way through the syllabus for the Effective Animal Advocacy course taught at NYU by Prof. Jeff Sebo.

We'll be doing these readings together, and then discussing, so please bring a device to read on, or print outs of the readings. The readings can be found here, and you can sign up to lead discussion about one of the readings here.

This reading group is ideal for anyone who is interested in reading deeper on the effective altruist approach to the problem of animal suffering, and discussing some practical and theoretical challenges to the approach.
The syllabus covers:

• Applied rationality
• Effective altruism
• Effective animal advocacy
• The EAA movement
• Theoretical issues
• Practical issues
• Animal welfare and rights
• Social and institutional change
• Legal and political change
• Technological and economic change
• The limits of animal advocacy
• The future of animal advocacy

There’s no need to commit to all sessions and participants can join when a topic is of interest.
