MC 00366 Guide to the Lisa Finlay Papers, 1987-1996?The collection is arranged in four series: Unpublished Materials, Published Materials, Organizations and Events, and Audio-Visual
Materials.
This series contains a variety of unpublished materials. Included are drafts of articles and/or book chapters, as well as
academic and colloquium papers, a fellowship proposal, and a lecture transcript. Authors include
Tom Regan, Lisa Finlay's master's thesis advisor and prominent animal rights activist, and
Marti Kheel, the co-founder of Feminists for Animal Rights (FAR). The majority of the materials focus on ecofeminism or the intersection
between feminism and animal rights, but some are related to more general animal rights or philosophical issues. Some of these
materials may have been submissions or proposals for the 1993 ANGFAR conference and several of the papers have accompanying
correspondence. This series is organized alphabetically by the author's last name.

Biographical NoteLisa Finlay received bachelor's degrees from Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina and North Carolina Central University, before attending graduate school at North Carolina State University. During her time at North Carolina State University she combined her interests in feminism and animal rights, completing a self-designed Master of Arts in Liberal Studies in 1993 entitled "Forms of Oppression: Sexism, Racism, and Speciesism." Animal rights activist and, at that time, North Carolina State University professor Tom Regan served as her thesis advisor. Also in 1993, Finlay helped organize the A New Generation for Animal Rights (ANGFAR) conference at the New Brunswick Campus of Rutgers University. She was both the coordinator and main contact person for the conference. A long-time member of Feminists for Animal Rights (FAR), Finlay served as the organization's volunteer regional coordinator in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. When the organization opened its national office in Chapel Hill in January 1994, Finlay was hired as FAR's first director. Finlay also served on the editorial committee and the production staff of the organization's biannual publication. Controlled Terms
