The Ferrater Mora Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, based in Oxford, England, is committed to putting ethical concerns for animals on the intellectual agenda.

鈥淎ttending the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Summer School feels like coming home,鈥� said Bretzlaff-Holstein. 鈥淚t is a conference unlike any others I frequent and present at. It is an opportunity to engage in conversations and learn from like-minded academics, scholars, researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world whose work focuses on giving animals the attention and care they deserve as fellow creatures of God鈥檚 creation. This year鈥檚 2022 summer school afforded me the chance to bring my discipline of the social work profession to the table in which I presented on Animals in Social Work Practice & Education: Moving Toward Inclusivity & Normalization versus Specialization. I am grateful to be a small part of this illustrious and vital organization as a fellow and contribute to the mission and vision of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics.鈥�
