Welcome to the cyber home of Dr. Corey Lee Wrenn, UK-based American sociologist and scholar of social movements, feminism, and human-nonhuman relations. The magnitude of nonhuman suffering is such that activists can’t afford to take chances. My work is designed to take the guesswork out of social movement mobilization and animal rights activism, and I need your help to implement the findings.
I also prioritize the practical application of feminist theory. How can feminism inform radical but equitable and sustainable acts of compassion for the self, fellow animals, and our larger communities? Subscribe to my newsletter, find me on Youtube, and join me on this journey!
I am available for speaking engagements, interviews, panels, book blurbs, paid reviews, and campaign consultation on topics relating to animal rights, capitalism and animal liberation or veganism, charity and nonprofit politics, intersectionality, gender and animals, multispecies social change and social justice movements, vegan feminism, vegan and multispecies sociology, and vegan spirituality (and atheism).
Just released! Vegan Witchcraft: Contemporary Magical Practice and Multispecies Social Change explores intersections of ecofeminist spirituality and modern witchcraft from a vegan perspective. Vegan Witchcraft is the first book to blend theories of animal rights, feminism, and modern witchcraft in pursuit of total liberation.
What works and what doesn’t? I say show me the research!

My Expertise
I have published over thirty academic, peer-reviewed pieces on the topic of effective and inclusive social movement mobilization. I am also the author of the books, A Rational Approach to Animal Rights: Extensions in Abolitionist Theory (Palgrave 2016), Piecemeal Protest: Animal Rights in the Age of Nonprofits (University of Michigan Press 2019), Animals in Irish Society: Interspecies Oppression and Vegan Liberation in Britain’s First Colony (SUNY Press 2021), Vegan Witchcraft: Contemporary Magical Practice and Multispecies Social Change (Routledge 2026), and Vegan Feminism (Bloomsbury, forthcoming). I have presented this work at leading academic conferences such as the American Sociological Association, but my work has also been featured in mainstream news spaces such as the BBC, The Huffington Post, and Women’s Health Magazine.
In 2013, I realized my commitment to scholar-activism by founding the Vegan Feminist Network. VFN is a coalition of vegan women advocating for intersectional awareness and solidarity across social justice issues. I have also co-founded the International Association of Vegan Sociologists and I host the podcast Sociology & Animals.
Your commitment to engaging with evidence-based and inclusive research is essential to good activist hygiene. My aim is to help you nurture the art of critical thinking and the skill of scientific process. Further, you will be armed with the data to support smart tactics.
