DESCRIPTION:WHY WE LOVE DOGS, EAT PIGS, AND WEAR COWS: An Introduction to 
 Carnism\n\nPresented by author and social psychologist Dr. Melanie Joy\nIn 
 her captivating slide show, Melanie Joy, Ph.D., Ed.M, explains carnism, the 
 invisible belief system that shapes our perception of the meat we eat, so 
 that we love some animals and eat others without knowing why. Dr. Joy, a 
 longtime activist for social and environmental justice and animal 
 protection, describes how carnism is sustained by complex, hidden social 
 and psychological mechanisms, and it is most harmful when unrecognized. 
 Using powerful imagery, thought-provoking analyses, and a compelling 
 narrative, Dr. Joy elucidates how, although unjust belief systems (racism, 
 sexism, ableism, etc.) all are unique, the mentality that enables such 
 systems is strikingly similar. When unnoticed, these “isms” can cause 
 us to act against our core values, our own interests, and the interests of 
 others. By illuminating carnism, Dr. Joy helps us become more empowered 
 citizens and more active social witnesses. Audiences appreciate her 
 accessible, engaging and levelheaded approach, regardless of their dietary 
 choices.\n\nParental/guardian discretion is advised for younger 
 attendees.\n\nMelanie Joy, Ph.D., Ed.M. is a Harvard educated psychologist 
 and professor of psychology and sociology at the University of 
 Massachusetts, Boston. Dr. Joy has written articles on psychology, animal 
 protection, and social justice, as well as the acclaimed Why We Love Dogs, 
 Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism and Strategic Action 
 for Animals. Dr. Joy is also the founder and president of the Carnism 
 Awareness and Action Network (CAAN).\n\nThis is a No Cost Event! \nA 
 Complimentary Veggie Grill Tasting Bar will be offered.\n\n
