Emily, an educator and consultant, defines humane education as teaching critical thinking, empathy, and compassionate action. She emphasizes the need for daily interactions that model these values, such as reflecting on biases and promoting thoughtful observation of animals.

We also touch on the impact of societal norms and the importance of community support in promoting humane practices.

Emily's upcoming book chapter on humane education is set to release on March 11, she recommends buying it from bookshop.org https://bookshop.org/p/books/exploring-topics-in-non-human-coexistence-passion-praxis-and-presence-erin-jones/21727368?ean=9781590567395
