During my time as a visiting researcher with the Animal Law & Policy Program, I worked
on my postdoctoral research project “Trilogy on a Legal Theory of Animal Rights.” The Trilogy
consists of three separate but interrelated articles, each exploring a different facet of animal
rights law, namely: legal animal rights in general, human rights-like fundamental animal
rights in particular, and the relationship between animal welfare law and animal rights. The
first article, entitled “Toward a Theory of Legal Animal Rights: Simple and Fundamental
Rights” was recently published in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies (2020). The third article,
entitled “Beyond Animal Warfare Law: Humanizing the ‘War on Animals’ and the Need for
Complementary Animal Rights” has been submitted to various US law journals, and I expect
it to be published by early 2021. I am currently finalizing the second article, entitled “(Non)
Human Rights for Animals: Towards an Integrative One Rights Approach.”
