Prof. Sanbonmatsu proposes a new perspective on our relationship with animals, the food we eat, and with each other. His book has received warm praise from leading thinkers and activists including Angela Davis, who says: “Everyone who believes in justice for all should read this brilliant book,” and Jeffrey Moussaief Masson, who writes“You cannot read this book without changing your life. It is a work not only of immense moral significance, but a masterpiece." 

Prof. Sanbonmatsu will be joined in conversation by Prof. Joel Brattin and Prof. Scott Barton, followed by open Q&A with the audience.  

Attendees are invited to bring a vegan food item to contribute to the Gordon Library's month-long food drive! (Knowledge is Power, Food is Fuel!)

Copies of The Omnivore’s Deception will be available for sale for half an hour before the event begins (3-3:30pm - all major credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex) or Google/Apple/Samsung Pay will be accepted). 

We hope to see you there!
