Sentientism discussion

Hi again,


I also want to share this information in case you are interested in online resources for learning:


Openculture has a list of free philosophy courses on many topics from Darwin Charles 1809-1882 to ethics.

Effective Altruism is a free course on Coursera that starts today (and seems to be ongoing). Yes, this is the Effective Altruism of Peter Singer (as in
The Most Good You Can Do: How Effective Altruism Is Changing Ideas About Living Ethically).


We Animals Media has an archive of webinars , and also has an upcoming webinar event for which you can register:

Session 6 The Future of Animal Politics in the context of Climate Change, COVID-19 and Movements against Racial Capitalism begins on Thursday, January 21, 2021, registration is open. This seems like a very good resource, in general.

And finally, a related topic for learning:

If you're interested in what might be the foundations of sentientism, humanism might be of interest. Introducing Humanism: Non-religious Approaches to Life, with Sandi Toksvig . This is a free online course on Futurelearn.


A note that Jamie Woodhouse has the Sentientism podcast on apple and on pod link, as well as the Sentientism YouTube channel . You could access all the podcasts and really interesting interviews to date, catch up, like, share, subscribe, and get even more information and resources, as well as connect to the sentientism community.


The Goodreads 2021 Reading Challenge will be available on desktop on January 1, 2021 at 12AM Pacific time.


If you do attend any of the above events or courses, feel free to let us know how it goes!


All the best,

Kat :)

Great stuff - thank you Kat!

Thank you, Kat! I'm looking forward to checking these out

You're all very welcome :)

Was just noticing our terrific group bookshelf which has so many new great books added - Thanks so much!

If you're all OK with the categories of read, to-read, etc. as they are, then that's fine - Any suggestions are welcome, and feel free to make your own shelves, sorting, categories, etc.!

Cheers!
Kat
