== Biography == |

Kemmerer grew up in rural Washington State, and dropped out of college after her first year in order to learn by traveling. She back packed through much of the South Pacific and Asia in her late teens and twenties. {{fact|date=January 2017}} |

After witnessing religious violence in Northern India and Israel and religious suppression in China, Kemmerer decided to study religions and teach as a way to work toward world peace. She organized a campus animal rights group at [[Reed College]], where she earned a degree in International Studies, and then earned Master of Divinity (Harvard Divinity) before taking a job in Alaska, where she co-organized an animal rights collective. She returned to school in order to be a better activist, and she earned her Ph.D. in philosophy ([[Glasgow University]], [[Scotland]]), focusing on [[animal ethics]], and her dissertation became her first book.{{fact|date=January 2017}} |

After graduation, Kemmerer returned to work at her sister’s [[animal sanctuary]] before taking a position at Montana State University, where she teaches philosophy and religious studies.<ref>[https://www.routledge.com/authors/i11820-lisa-kemmerer Lisa Kemmerer], Routledge, Retrieved 20 January 2017</ref> |

Kemmerer coined the term anymal (a contraction of "any" and "animal", pronounced like "any" and "mal"), to refer to all individuals who are of a species other than that of the speaker/author. This means that if a human being uses the term, all species except ''Homo sapiens'' are indicated. If a [[Great ape language|chimpanzee signs]] "anymal", all species (including human beings) will be included except chimpanzees. Using the term "anymal" avoids the use of: |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
* "animal" as if human beings were not animals; |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
* dualistic and alienating references such as "non" and "other"; and |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
* cumbersome terms such as nonhuman animals and other-than-human animals.<ref>{{cite journal|year=2006|title=Verbal Activism: "Anymal"|journal=Society & Animals|volume=14|pages=9|doi=10.1163/156853006776137186|last1=Kemmerer|first1=Lisa}}</ref> |
