The Ferrater Mora Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics was founded in Oxford in 2006 by Andrew Linzey, Clair's father and a member of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Oxford. The Centre promotes ethical concern for animals through academic study and public debate, and aims to create a global association of academics willing to advance the ethical case for animals. The Centre aims to break new ground for the animals. It wants to put ethical concern for animals on the intellectual agenda and contribute to an enlightened public debate about animals. The Centre believes that the rational case for animals is frequently understated within academia and misrepresented in the media. Its aim is to create a world-wide association of academics from all disciplines who want to pioneer ethical perspectives on animals.
