 protection. At the University of Massachusetts, Boston, she teaches courses 
 which examine racism, heterosexism, genderism, domestic violence, and 
 psychological trauma.\n\nVisit www.sfvs.org or carnism.org for more 
 information. This event is free and open to the public. \n\nAbout the

 Australia. Her award-winning Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An
