Call for Conference Submissions

We are now welcoming submissions for PHAIR Animal Advocacy Conference 2025!

The conference will take place July 2–5, 2025 at Pollock Halls at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. 

We are inviting contributions in four different formats: 4-person Symposia, Standard Talks, Blitz Presentations, and Posters. The conference will be held in person and there is no capacity for online presentations.

The conference committee will make a final selection of presentations, posters, and symposia based on scientific quality, relevance, importance, and impact. Proposals that are not selected for oral presentations may be given the opportunity to present a poster instead.

The closing date for submissions is January 30th 2025.

You can read the call for proposals and the submission guidelines on the conference website: PHAIR2025.co.uk

All submissions should be related to one (or more) of the main themes of the conference:

• The psychological, social, and societal factors shaping how we perceive and think about animals, human-animal relations, and animal welfare and rights.
• The impact of advocacy strategies related to animal rights, veganism, meat reduction and reduction of other animal products (e.g., dairy, eggs).
• The social and behavioural science of animal cruelty, meat consumption (and other animal-product consumption), vegetarianism/veganism, and speciesism.
• The connections and intersections between human-animal relations and human intergroup relations as well as between animal ethics and other social justice domains including environmentalism, feminism, anti-racism.
