Lisa Kemmerer is an American academic. She is professor of philosophy and religion at Montana State University Billings, and is the author or editor of nine books.
Early life
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. [citation needed]
Education
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 studied at Glasgow University, Scotland, completing a Ph.D. in 1999 wit ha dissertation titled Protectionism : applying ethics consistently.[1] Her thesis focused on animal ethics, and her dissertation became her first book.[citation needed]
Academic career
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.[2] In 2012 she travelled to Kenya and Peru.[3]
Anymal
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 humans.[4] 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.[5]
