Yeah he talks about vegetarianism a lot actually! Here’s one paragraph about his efforts to promote vegetarianism as a young man in England:
What he describes is one of the problems we want to solve at Allied Scholars for Animal Protection – clubs die when student leaders graduate because there’s no larger infrastructure to support recruitment.
I love how well that excerpt links to the work you’re doing at ASAP! Glad to hear that he brings up vegetarianism often in the autobiography. It’s interesting to read that he was intellectually converted, and I enjoy him speaking to the “no zealot like a convert” phenomenon.

Yeah that was interesting! He was raised vegetarian, ate meat for a while and then went back to it.
Also, re social movements and animals—James Ozden has some useful research.
I’d definitely be interested in reading more about his life, definitely humanizes him in a way that feels inspiring.
Also yes, I’ve read some of James Özden’s work! In November I wrote a post about his most recent article “Winning is underrated in grassroots movements” that I published to the IP28 campaign website (https://www.yesonip28.org/post/winning). I hadn’t initially thought to post it on the EA Forum, but maybe it could make for a helpful cross-post.
I think that would make a great cross-post!
