History
The centre was founded in Oxford in 2006 by Andrew Linzey, a member of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Oxford, though the centre is not affiliated with the university.[1] Other founding fellows were Ara Paul Barsam and Mark H. Bernstein.[2] The centre is named after the Catalan philosopher José Ferrater Mora (Catalan: Josep Ferrater i Mora).[1]
The centre held an International Conference on the Relationship between Animal Abuse and Human Violence at Keble College, Oxford, in 2007.[3]
Mission
The centre promotes ethical concern for animals through academic study and public debate, and aims to create a global association of academics willing to advance the ethical case for animals.[4] To that end, it publishes an academic journal, the Journal of Animal Ethics, jointly with the University of Illinois.[5] It has also established an animal ethics series with Palgrave MacMillan.[6]
Notable members
Fellows include Robert Garner, Steven M. Wise and Martin Henig.[2] Honorary fellows include J. M. Coetzee, Joy Carter, Bob Barker and Philip Wollen.[7]
