Accelerating Replacement of Animal Experimentation: Critical Theoretical Perspectives
A special issue on the theme of “Accelerating Replacement of Animal Experimentation: Critical Theoretical Perspectives” is planned for publication consideration by the Journal of Animal Law, Ethics and One Health (LEOH).
LEOH is an online, peer-reviewed Platinum open-access journal newly launched at the University of Zurich, Center for Animal Law and Ethics and directed by Prof. Margot Michel and Prof. Brigitte Tag. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of legal and ethical issues relating to animals as well.
This special issue invites submissions by researchers from the fields of law, ethics, philosophy, social sciences, etc. that address the replacement principle from the 3R model and law or policy reform through an analysis that engages with one or more critical theoretical perspectives. Such perspectives may include critical animal studies, critical science studies, children’s rights studies, critical plant studies, vegan ecofeminist theory or other feminist theory, anti-colonial theory, Indigenous theories, disability studies, queer theories, class-based critiques, Earth Jurisprudence, Black studies, critical race theory, etc. All perspectives and a broad range of specific topics addressing replacement in relation to critical theory are welcome.
Further information is available in the full Call for Papers PDF and the Submissions Checklist.
