The theme is the systemati c "othering" of and discrimination against different groups of human bein gs\, as well as members of different animal species and why we should con sider nonhuman animals in the fight for social justice. Join us for a pre sentation followed by a discussion with Hanh Nguyen on the intersections of various forms of oppression that affect human and nonhuman animals in today's society.While every struggle for equality is unique\, several com mon themes emerge when we talk about the underlying structure of racism\, sexism\, xenophobia and other forms of societal oppression. We often ove rlook how these same oppressive structures are at play in our relations w ith other animals and enable their exploitation and abuse. Because today' s political climate places so much emphasis on categories of identity\, w e must be cognizant of the process by which these otherwise benign catego ries—be it race\, sexuality\, gender\, nationality or species—are turned into tools to "otherize" and discriminate against different groups. We mu st examine the common thread between all the insidious forms of prejudice —against humans and other animals—if we're to stop it from proliferating.
