The Open University
Matthew Melsa (formerly Cole) is lecturer in Criminology at The Open University in the UK. His current interests focus on the sociology of veganism and anti-veganism and the expansion of a zemiological framework to include attention to social harms inflicted on nonhuman animals. His first book, Our Children and Other Animals: The Cultural Construction of Human-Animal Relations in Childhood, co-written with Kate Stewart, explores how children are socialized into accepting and reproducing the human domination of other animals.
