Thanks to Faunalytics for covering our report on how cities can consider wild animal welfare in their infrastructure policies! This report is step one in a broader project on wild animal welfare in urban environments. Stay tuned for more this year :) faunalytics.org/wild-animals-a…




This is a nice Washington Square News article about the endowment of the NYU Center for Mind, Ethics, and Policy, with a summary of some of our recent work on animal and AI consciousness and quotes from me, researcher Toni Sims, and collaborator Kristin Andrews! nyunews.com/news/2024/09/1…

The NYU Wild Animal Welfare Program is thrilled to be hosting an online conversation with Marc Bekoff and Matthew Hayek about the importance of recognizing animal agency in environmental conservation! Nov 18, 12:30pm ET. RSVP below. Please join us! sites.google.com/nyu.edu/wildan…




Since its publication in 2022, Saving Animals, Saving Ourselves has been endorsed by a variety of researchers and policymakers, including leaders like Cory Booker and Dr. Jane Goodall & the Jane Goodall Institute. 8/10



Just read Jeff Sebo's “The Moral Circle" which proposes—mainly by way of mobilizing a utilitarian argument—for extending moral consideration to non-humans, including invertebrates, insects, and #AI. It’s well-written, accessible and mind expanding. Highly recommended W. W. Norton & Company


Thrilled to be hosting two acclaimed authors to discuss nonhuman minds! On Feb 7 at 4:30pm ET, join us in person or online for a conversation with Peter Brown, author of The Wild Robot series, and Eliot Schrefer 🌈, author of Queer Ducks (and Other Animals). sites.google.com/nyu.edu/mindet…


"Individual rescue is not enough. By building an animal-friendly infrastructure, we can embed compassion for animals into the basic structures of our shared society." My latest, on how cities can build a better infrastructure for all, today at Los Angeles Times. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

The Moral Circle will launch tomorrow (Jan 28) at 6:30pm at P&T Knitwear | Books and Podcasts! Featuring discussion with me, Alexandra Horowitz, and Oshan Jarow, followed by free vegan reception.
