This week, I am pleased to present my interview with Lynda Korimboccus, who lives in Scotland. Lynda will soon be starting her PhD in vegan Sociology, having completed a Master’s degree in Anthrozoology in 2019. She is the Editor-in-Chief of the upcoming
Student Journal of Vegan Sociology, and she works as a social sciences
lecturer in Scottish Further Education. Her PhD will focus on the experiences of vegan children living in a non-vegan world.In this interview, we discuss how children are socialized into accepting and participating in animal exploitation in society, with a focus on Lynda’s research into how nonhuman animals are represented on children’s television shows in the UK. Lynda explains why she coined the term "the Peppa Pig Paradox", referring to the phenomenon in which people claim to love animals or animal characters (such as Peppa Pig) even while they eat real animals of the same species. She also tells me about her story of becoming vegan and her plans for her PhD research, and we discuss the importance of vegan education in order to achieve our goal of the abolition of animal exploitation.
