As a sports researcher Blane Abercrombie, gives us an insight into the learning and teaching of hard sciences as well as navigating bodybuilding culture and the toxic masculinity and carnism it is connected to. Blane analyzes the masculinity of bodybuilding culture and its link to the consumption of animal protein by applying a feminist critique of gendered food habits. Presenting anecdotes from his own experience with the resistance to animal liberation and women`s accessibility to the sport of bodybuilding as well as academic sciences, Blane uses his time on the panel to appeal to us to do away with the oppressive and carnist nature of sports and academia alike.
