North American Association for Critical Animal Studies

The North American Association for Critical Animal Studies is society for critical animal studies scholars and animal activists that meets in even years, while our sister society, the European Association for Critical Animal Studies meets in odd years. Our next meeting will take place in 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia.

On May 16, 2025, we hosted a half-day, hybrid event, Feminist Animal Studies: Foundations and Frontiers, featuring a keynote by Maneesha Deckha and a panel in celebration the work of of Carol J. Adams on the 35th anniversary of The Sexual Politics of Meat. The poster for the event is below.
