Public Lecture by Peter Singer

The conference begins with an in-person, public talk by Peter Singer (July 2, 6-7pm). RESERVE your seat HERE!  

Journalists have bestowed the tag of “world’s most influential living philosopher” on Peter Singer. He was Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University from 1999-2024, where he now holds the rank of Emeritus Professor of Bioethics.

Singer first became well-known internationally after the publication of Animal Liberation in 1975. Some of his other books are: Practical Ethics, The Expanding Circle, Rethinking Life and Death, Pushing Time Away, The Life You Can Save, Ethics in the Real World, Why Vegan?, Animal Liberation Now, and, most recently, The Buddhist and the Ethicist.

In 2012, Singer was made a Companion of the Order of Australia, the country’s highest civilian honour. In 2021 he was awarded the Berggruen Prize for Philosophy and Culture, and in 2023, the Frontiers of Knowledge Prize for the Humanities, from the Spanish BBVA Foundation.

Social Event: Ceilidh with Live Music

On Thursday evening, we will host a Ceilidh (with live Scottish band) at The Caves. This evening will provide the perfect networking opportunity in an informal and inspiring setting, while enjoying drinks and tasty plant-based food. More details will follow.
