Daniel Levitas is an independent scholar and expert on white supremacist and neo-Nazi organizations and social movements. He is the author of The Terrorist Next Door: The Militia Movement and the Radical Right, (Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press, November 2002) which was nominated for a 2002 National Book Award and a Pulitzer Prize.

Mr. Levitas is a contributing author to Anti-Semitism in America Today (Birch Lane Press, 1995) and a contributing writer to Groliers Multimedia Encyclopedia on the history of American anti-Semitism, hate crimes and the U.S. militia movement.

Mr. Levitas has conducted training sessions and seminars for academics and students, public officials, community leaders and law enforcement officers throughout the United States. He has lectured widely at colleges and universities (the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor; the JFK Memorial Library in Boston; Tulane University in New Orleans, etc.) and his speeches and public presentations have been sponsored by groups as diverse as the W.E.B.

Carol J. Adams
May 16 and 17, 2005

Carol J. Adams, since receiving her M.Div. from Yale University, has published close to 100 articles in journals, books, and magazines on the issues of vegetarianism and veganism, animal advocacy, domestic violence and sexual abuse. In addition, she has contributed entries on "vegetarianism" for numerous academic encyclopedias and dictionaries. She is particularly interested in the interconnections among forms of violence against human and nonhuman animals, writing, for instance, about why woman-batterers harm animals and the implications of this (see Animals and Women). Her article, "Bringing Peace Home: A Feminist Philosophical Perspective on the Abuse of Women, Children, and Pet Animals," represents her approach to these interconnections (in her book Neither Man nor Beast). In addition to her Sexual Politics of Meat, she has also garnered much praise for her Living Among Meat Eaters: The Vegetarian Survival Guide, Help! My Child Stopped Eating Meat! and The Inner Art of Vegetarianism. She also maintains her interest in spirituality and has authored two volumes on prayer.
