Vegan studies or vegan theory is the study of veganism, within the humanities and social sciences, as an identity and ideology, and the exploration of its depiction in literature, the arts, popular culture, and the media.[1] In a narrower use of the term, vegan studies seek to establish veganism as a "mode of thinking and writing" and a "means of critique".[2]
Working within a variety of disciplines, scholars discuss issues such as the commodity status of animals,[3] carnism,[4] veganism and ecofeminism,[5] veganism and race,[6] and the effect of animal farming on climate change.[7] Closely related to critical animal studies,[8] vegan studies can be informed by critical race theory, environmental studies and ecocriticism, feminist theory, postcolonialism, posthumanism, and queer theory,[9] incorporating a range of empirical and non-empirical research methodologies.[10]
The field first began to enter the academy in the 2010s, and in 2015 was proposed as a formal field of study by Laura Wright.[11][12]
