September 1st, 2015:
David Cassuto, Class of 1946 Distinguished Visiting Professor of Environmental Studies, was appointed a Fellow of the Centre for Animal Ethics at Oxford University. Academics, both from the sciences as well as the humanities, who are researching or intending to research in the field are eligible for consideration. 
Under the rules, appointment is offered only once to successful individuals within their lifetime, and appointment is by invitation or nomination only. Only a small proportion of those nominated are eventually selected. The process of selection is rigorous, painstaking, and frequently lengthy, and individuals appointed have to have made (or be capable of making) an outstanding contribution to the field.
“All these individuals are pioneering new work in Animal Ethics – helping to press he envelope in terms of new thinking”, said Director of the Centre, Professor Andrew Linzey.
The Centre extends its warmest congratulations to the successful individuals.
