Vegan Geographies: Negotiations, Contestations, and Encounters in the Everyday Spaces of Veganism

Annals of the American Association of Geographers, 2025, vol. 115, issue 5, 969-987

Abstract: This article explores the nested scales of veganism by investigating how vegan ethics, places, and identities are produced through everyday practices across spatial and temporal scales. Drawing on militant (auto)ethnography, it centrally engages with the role of space in the realization of vegan ethics by examining how individuals committed to veganism actualize, test, and realize their political and ethical beliefs within their everyday spaces. It shows that veganism is situated, interpreted, and intersectional, and that it cannot be understood without the place-based negotiations, contestations, and encounters that both shape and are shaped by it. By unpacking the multilayered spatial practices and narratives of vegans, the article reveals how these contribute to the formation of alternative identities, spaces, and communities, extending beyond veganism to highlight broader dynamics of social change in other places and movements.
