Karin Lauria (by William Lynn)
Practical Ethics continues to grow, and I have the immense pleasure of introducing Karin Lauria, our newest contributor.
Karin brings a wealth of editorial experience to Practical Ethics, having worked for over twelve years as an editor and marketing writer for the high-tech industry. She is currently a freelance editor at Lauria Consulting, where she advises on and edits academic books and articles, grant proposals, dissertations, and other publications. At Practical Ethics, she will be screening and editing all essays submitted by guest writers, while posting blogs on human-animal relations and religion.
Karin also brings an expertise in religion. In 2007 she earned her masters in theological studies from Boston University School of Theology. Her concentrations were in ethics and hermeneutics.
Karin’s research interest is theologies of animals, especially as they relate to ethics and science. During the course of her research, Karin found that many theo-ethical approaches lacked a practical vision for guiding religious communities in their thought and action toward the treatment of animals. To address this need, she is developing a practical theology of animals based on the theological hermeneutics of Donald S. Browning, as well as the practical ethics of Mary Midgley and Holmes Rolston.
