Abstract

My project is decolonial, exploring how colonization applies to non-human animals. Engaging animal philosophy, philosophy of culinary authenticity, and philosophy of race, I will create vegan cooking tutorials aimed at communities of color. While there is significant literature exploring ourselves as primarily bodily beings before being individuals with personhood, it is often situated in an ecofeminist lens. My contribution builds on existing efforts to reveal the implicit bias within veganism and work to counteract it by applying how colonization of non-human animals and people can be resisted through cooking. A goal of this community engagement project is reducing environmental injustice to non-human animals and communities of color by making vegan food more accessible through cooking videos.
