The Vegan Party Conference is a one day gathering of vegan activists – from street activists to vegan health care specialists, from campaign managers to vegan influencers, from vegan business CEOs to vegan scientists. It’s a hub for collective discussions and action, building on the success of 2024 and a warm welcome is extended to vegans, grassroots activists and campaigners alongside national and regional campaign groups.

The London Vegan Fayre returns to Kensington Town Hall in time for the festive season with 110 stalls, including a number of street food caterers and artisan food providers including seasonal goods – complete with a stage, live music, comedy and inspirational guests, plus 2 talks rooms featuring a wide variety of vegan related topics.

I am a social psychologist, and my research interests primarily focus on intergroup relations, stereotypes, and prejudices. In the context of veganism, I am particularly interested in the social perception of vegans and the relationships between vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters. I am also especially drawn to the topic of masculinity in relation to veganism – my doctoral dissertation explored the gender-biased social perception of vegetarians and vegans. I have experience in conducting qualitative, quantitative, and experimental research, with a particular affinity for approaches that emphasize the agency of research participants in the research process.

 

I am Dr Seyma Esin Erben, originally from Türkiye and currently residing in Malta. As an academic and activist, my research interests are focused on veganism and digital communication practices. I hold a PhD in digital activism and currently work as an Assistant Professor, lecturing online for master’s courses while also researching as a postdoctoral intern at the University of Malta.

My studies explore but are not limited to vegan activists' presence and representation in social networks and digital activism. I examine the intersection of digital ecological activism and veganism, analysing how online platforms shape advocacy and discourse. Additionally, I am interested in critical studies on the commodification of veganism through digital media messages and the mainstream media’s portrayal of veganism.

I research and teach the economic analysis of incentives and human behaviour, predominantly in the context of the law and crime. Topics that I have been interested in include food crime, social norms and punishment, as well as the use and avoidance of information in decision-making. I work with a wide range of methods, including game theoretical models, empirical analysis of economic data and economic laboratory experiments.
