A.F.A.R.
Wednesday February 5th, 2025 with Carolyn, host of Always for Animal Rights
This week, the vegan sociologist Corey Lee Wrenn joins the show to discuss vegan witchcraft, ecofeminism, and rejecting speciesist symbolism.

This week, I am pleased to present my fourth interview with the vegan feminist scholar Corey Lee Wrenn, PhD, Senior Lecturer of Sociology and co-director of the Centre for the Study of Social and Political Movements at the University of Kent. Corey is the author of A Rational Approach to Animal Rights: Extensions in Abolitionist Theory (published in 2016), Piecemeal Protest: Animal Rights in the Age of Nonprofits (published in 2019), and Animals in Irish Society: Interspecies Oppression and Vegan Liberation in Britain’s First Colony (published in 2021). Her forthcoming books will focus on vegan feminism and vegan witchcraft. Corey is also the founder of the Vegan Feminist Network and co-founder of the International Association of Vegan Sociologists. In this interview, Corey and I discuss the interconnections between witchcraft, ecofeminism, and veganism, and Corey tells me about her ongoing work for her book about vegan feminism. She also explains the importance of using anti-speciesist language and why the promotion of lab-grown “meat” is problematic. As well, Corey speaks about what keeps her motivated to continue doing her work as a vegan advocate and scholar.
