Welcome to The Vegan Society’s Researcher Network!

Launched in 2018, the Network is open to all independent or early-career researchers and postgraduate students who are conducting research into any of our three overarching research themes:

(1) Health & Wellbeing: health outcomes and benefits of vegan diets, mental health, nutrition.

(2) Society, Culture & Animal Ethics: non-human animal rights, political theory, speciesism.

The Research Advisory Committee

Encouraging collaboration between The Vegan Society as a community of practice and academia:

The Research Advisory Committee (RAC) supports staff and trustees of The Vegan Society by conducting and sharing academic and other scientific research relevant to veganism. Committee members give specialist advice, act as peer reviewers, recommend references, and support our research and campaigns activities by ensuring our work is academically robust.

The RAC helps The Vegan Society to:

Researcher Network member, Malte B. Rödl, updates us on a study for our Society & Culture Portfolio and asks if meat alternatives are just the same as meat?
