About me
Louis Arthur Gough is a Sociology Lecturer with a keen interest in veganism, animal rights/liberation, anthropocentrism, speciesism, the interconnectedness of human-to-nonhuman and intra-human forms of oppression, social movement communication and discourse more generally. His PhD research concerns the various ways in which vegan advocacy discourse functions to both subvert and reinforce anthropocentrism - a hegemonic ideology understood to be at the heart of nonhuman animal exploitation, environmental destruction and various forms of intra-human oppression. Louis is currently working on various publications of a similar nature and continues to write about issues pertaining to veganism, human-nonhuman relations, anthropocentrism, colonialism, environmentalism, gender and so on.
Louis is a proud affiliate of the International Association of Vegan Sociologists.
