Carol Adams is a pioneer in feminist-vegetarian critical theory, and has written books such as The Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man Nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals, among many others. Adams has been an activist on issues of violence since the 1970s, and her work continues to engage with this topic.

Adams will present a slideshow entitled The Sexual Politics of Meat, which explores the way popular culture presents images of race, gender and species to further oppressive attitudes. Adams highlights the interconnecting nature of different forms of oppression, such as the links between sexism, racism and speciesism. The slideshow also suggests forms of resistance against the construction of individuals (human and non-human) as "meat".
