Public lecture on the psychology of (not) eating meat

Event details

Thomas Davies (Psychology) will explore the ethical, moral, and environmental consequences of eating meat, then discuss research on the meat paradox - most people both love animals and care for the environment, but surprisingly still eat meat.

Emily Nicholls (Sociology) will then provide an overview of her research on the psychology of consuming plant-based meat substitutes.
