The Animal Liberation Philosophy and Policy Journal founded in 2003 by Steve Best and Anthony J. Nocella, II changed its name in 2007 to the Journal for Critical Animal Studies (JCAS), a project of the Institute for Critical Animal Studies (ICAS) (formally known as the Center for Animal Liberation Affairs). JCAS was renamed by Steve Best, Anthony J. Nocella, II, and Richard Kahn, which at that time until 2009 was led by Best. The Journal was established for the purpose of fostering academic study of critical animal issues in contemporary society. JCAS is grounded in an opposition to animal studies and research, which exploits nonhuman animals. The Journal for Critical Animal Studies is an interdisciplinary and intersection journal with an emphasis on total liberation and freedom for all. This Journal was designed to build up the common activist’s knowledge of animal liberation while at the same time appealing to academic specialists to address the important topic of animal liberation, freedom, and advocacy. We encourage and actively pursue a diversity of viewpoints of contributors from the frontlines of activism to academics. We have created the Journal for the purpose of facilitating communication between the many diverse perspectives of the animal advocacy movement. Thus, we especially encourage submissions that seek to create new syntheses between differing disputing parties and to explore paradigms not currently examined. The Journal for Critical Animal Studies is open to all scholars and activists. While the research and perspectives will differ, the editing of the pieces will be peer-reviewed for quality and originality. We encourage and actively pursue a diversity of viewpoints and topics.
