Hi,
I have attempted to write about some of the deadly implications of Singer’s perspective on disability. If the link does not provide access, I can send it to you. I think we should also let DAL
law school know that we do not agree with their key note choice – really ridiculous!

Lilith, thanks for sending.
I agree that dialogue is necessary. In that spirit, would anyone like to propose a panel with me? I think it would be useful to set out the shape of the resistance to Singer’s arguments on disability
and value (McBryde Johnson, for example) and the important contemporary work that engages our relationships with non-human animals from a politicized disability perspective. I would like to see that perspective represented at the conference, and in the proposed
journal issue.
Nova Scotia is wonderful in the summer but I’m not sure about early October – I guess there would be no need to worry about jellyfish!

Subject: Peter Singer keynote at Dalhousie Law Conference
Dear Colleagues. I am forwarding you the announcement about the Animal Law Conference because the keynote speaker is none other than Peter Singer! If you
wish to contact the organizers to share your concerns, you can reach them at [log in to unmask] .
Increasingly, links are being made between the disability rights movement and the animal liberation movement. These are two strong social
justice movements. I do not believe we should ignore speciesism -at the same time, the animal rights movement must not ignore ableism. Dialogue is certainly necessary! Lilith
