Join us for a thought-provoking discussion with John Sanbonmatsu, WPI Professor of Philosophy, as he explores his 2025 book The Omnivore���s Deception: What we get wrong about meat, animals, and ourselves (NYU Press). Prof. Sanbonmatsu proposes a new perspective on our relationship with animals, the food we eat, and with each other. His book has received warm praise from leading thinkers and activists including Angela Davis, writing: “Everyone who believes in justice for all should read this brilliant book,” and Jeffrey Moussaief Masson, who writes: “You cannot read this book without changing your life. It is a work not only of immense moral significance, but a masterpiece." Prof. Sanbonmatsu will open the program, the second event in this year's Gordon Library WPI Author Series, "For a Change." He will be joined in conversation by Prof. Joel Brattin and Prof. Scott Barton, followed by an open Q&A with the audience. Copies of The Omnivore’s Deception will be available for sale for half an hour before the event begins (3-3:30pm, All major credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex) or Google/Apple/Samsung Pay will be accepted).
