Research Faculty Recent Honor

In June 2023, the Psychology School Research Lead, Dr. Edel Sanders was appointed a lifelong Fellow at the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics. The Oxford website notes that:

“The Fellows are appointed for their outstanding contribution to the field of animal ethics worldwide… The process of selection is rigorous, painstaking, and frequently lengthy, and individuals appointed have to have made (or be capable of making) an outstanding contribution to the field.” www.oxfordanimalethics.com

The history of discourse on animal ethics at Oxford is extensive. Notable scholars at the university who published in this area include the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former lecturer at Oxford, Albert Schweitzer.
