Peter Singer

Peter Singer gave the second lecture of Humboldt State University's Centennial Speakers Series. As a vegan who majored in Philosophy, it was such an honor to get to see  Dr. Singer present. He has a pragmatic approachable style and has done so much for animal rights over the years. I highly recommend reading Animal Liberation, Practical Ethics, The Expanding Circle, and most recently, or The Way We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter.

Paul Ehrlich

Paul Ehrlich is the first speaker to kick off Humboldt State University's Centennial Speakers Series. For a long time I have interested populations exponential growth and its impact on quality of life and the planet. It was such a treat to get to see Dr. Paul Ehrlich, the author of The Population Bomb, present in person.
