Animal Law Podcast #33: Harvard’s Animal Law & Policy Program

On this episode of the Animal Law Podcast, Mariann will be speaking with three educators from Harvard’s Animal Law & Policy Program. Faculty Director Kristen Stilt, Executive Director Chris Green, and Policy Director Jonathan Lovvorn. They take Mariann on a deep dive into all the aspects of this fascinating program. You’ll hear about the various classes offered in animal law, how the faculty and students are working together to change the landscape of animal law, and the upcoming development of an Animal Law and Policy Clinic.

They also discuss their individual focuses. Kristen talks about her work related to animal welfare in the Halal meat industry. Jon elaborates on his studies on the impacts of food animals and domestic animals on climate change, and Chris talks about his involvement with the summer program at the University of Illinois with the Animals and Society Institute.
