Submissions

We are now welcoming submissions for PHAIR Animal Advocacy Conference 2025!

We are inviting contributions in four different formats: 4-person Symposia, Standard Talks, Blitz Presentations, and Posters. The conference will be held in person and there is no capacity for online presentations.

The conference committee will make a final selection of presentations, posters, and symposia based on scientific quality, relevance, importance, and impact. Proposals that are not selected for oral presentations may be given the opportunity to present a poster instead.

The closing date for submissions is January 30th 2025.

All submissions should be related to one (or more) of the main themes of the conference:

  • The psychological, social, and societal factors shaping how we perceive and think about animals, human-animal relations, and animal welfare and rights.
  • The impact of advocacy strategies related to animal rights, veganism, meat reduction and reduction of other animal products (e.g., dairy, eggs).
  • The social and behavioural science of animal cruelty, meat consumption (and other animal-product consumption), vegetarianism/veganism, and speciesism.
  • The connections and intersections between human-animal relations and human intergroup relations as well as between animal ethics and other social justice domains including environmentalism, feminism, anti-racism.
