This book explores how the ethical treatment and status of other-than-human animals influence
pedagogy teaching and learning in general aiming to fill what has been a gap in the
philosophy of education. It examines key trends in this regard including environmental
education humane education posthumanist education ecopedagogy critical animal pedagogy
critical animal studies animal standpoint theory and vegan education. The book discusses
animal minds and interests and how animals have been accommodated in moral theory. Further it
investigates whether anti-racist and anti-sexist education logically entail anti-speciesist
education and closes by proposing animal rights education as a viable and sound alternative a
pedagogy that does justice not only to animals in general and as species but also to
individual animals. If animal rights education is philosophically and educationally meaningful
then it can arguably offer a powerful pedagogical tool and facilitate lasting pro-animal
changes.
