Dear FEAST-L Members, I organize and promote an annual webinar event with author Jonathan Safran Foer where he discusses animal and food ethics with high school and college classes. Each time slot has a significant Q&A session, and it would be great to have perspectives in feminist thought and intersectionality represented here. Besides class participation, we also welcome participation from individuals as well as organizations within or outside academia. See the below promo letter for further details, and please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Joey Tuminello [log in to unmask] Program Coordinator // Farm Forward ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ College and High School Educators: Please consider this invitation to *bring the critically acclaimed novelist Jonathan Safran Foer into your classrooms* to discuss his international bestseller, *Eating Animals* <http://send.prattwebdesign.com/t/r-i-outljdd-l-d/>. *Reserve now for Fall 2014. Limited space is available for this complimentary program.* Set in the context of a larger journey of exploration, *Eating Animals* presents what many consider the most important popular critique of industrial farming. As part of our broader educational efforts, *Farm Forward* <http://send.prattwebdesign.com/t/r-i-outljdd-l-h/>, a national nonprofit organization, is covering all costs of this program for educators who discuss *Eating Animals* in their courses. Foer’s first two books, *Everything is Illuminated* and *Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close*, have both been made into major motion pictures and, while highly regarded for their literary merit, are also popular with the college demographic. *Kirkus Reviews* called *Eating Animals* “wholly compelling” and the *LA Times* argues that it offers a wisdom “that, in all its humanity and clarity, deserves a place at the table with our greatest philosophers.” In recent years both Duke University and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill made it required reading for their incoming freshman class. The most frequent comment we hear from educators who use *Eating Animals* is “I’ve never had such great classroom discussion!” *On October 28, 2014, Jonathan Safran Foer will make a number of virtual classroom visits to discuss Eating Animals, using professional webinar technology.* See further details below. Because *Eating Animals* looks at the consumption of animals from a variety of perspectives, *it has been used successfully in a wide range of academic fields, including Business, English, Environmental Studies, Philosophy, Public Policy, and Religious Studies.* Please consider passing this message on, and don’t hesitate to contact me with further questions at the email below. Sincerely, Joey Tuminello [log in to unmask] Program Coordinator // Farm Forward *Additional Information* From 10:00am – 4:30pm (Eastern Time), there will be 8 available sessions to choose from. Each session will consist of a 15-minute presentation by Foer, followed by a 20-minute Q&A session. While multiple classrooms may be included in each time slot, there is limited space and high demand is anticipated. With this in mind, we encourage all interested educators to *schedule their classroom visit from Foer as soon as possible. Instructors can sign their classes up for a session by visiting our page on **SignUpGenius* <http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e48aaab2da75-jonathan3>* (http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e48aaab2da75-jonathan3 <http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e48aaab2da75-jonathan3>).* · Farm Forward is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization which implements innovative strategies to promote conscientious food choices, reduce farm animal suffering, and advance sustainable agriculture.
