"The Jungle: Personalizing the Historical Struggle of Workers","Sinclair famously quipped that he “aimed for the public’s heart” but accidentally “hit it in the stomach.” His novel hit Shedd in both places. The Jungle personalized the hopes and struggles of those living in the era that she would eventually study as a modern U.S. historian. Sinclair’s story prompted her to seek answers to questions: How did this novel prompt policy change? How did it capture the struggles of historical actors and immigrants in the early 20th century? What other novels did Sinclair write? What institutional structures need reform in order to be more just?","An early encounter with muckraking American novelist Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle exposed Kristen Shedd to issues surrounding human rights and animal rights in the early 20th century. For Shedd, the 1906 novel exposed the intersections of fiction, policy, history, and social justice. Sinclair’s story prompted her to seek answers to questions: How did this novel prompt policy change? How did it capture the struggles of historical actors and immigrants in the early 20th century? What other novels did Sinclair write? What institutional structures need reform in order to be more just?",,"The Jungle by Upton Sinclair",,,"Kristen Shedd, Fullerton College & The John W.

"This is the Ocean",,"I rented Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals from the library, at a time in my life when I was searching inwards and exploring my beliefs. I would listen to the audiobook as I drove, and so it was a gradual experience that took place over a month.
My experience listening to this book opened my eyes to something which I had subconsciously known about myself all along but had not yet acknowledged. I learned about what it means to eat animals in our industrialized, capitalistic world, and how eating meat is not intrinsically bad, but circumstantially bad when it entails the suffering of animals, the health and disparity of humans, and environmental destruction for the planet.
This book opened my eyes to a world outside of my own, and to a conscious awareness of others, that helped me to think in different ways, and believe in a moral cause. I became a vegetarian in 2017, and have centered my academic research on meat and animal studies.","Jonathan Safran Foer","Eating Animals",,2017,"Taylin Nelson, 28, doctoral student",,,,,,this-ocean,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Dr. Andy Mink, NHC","Animal Rights,Conscientious Objection,Environmental Activism,Environmental Ethics,Environmental Justice,Foer, Jonathan Safran,Vegetarianism",https://humanitiesmoments.org/files/original/18/496/casserole-dish-2776735_640.jpg,Text,"Graduate Student Residents 2021",1,0
