Veganism in Abrahamic Religion: An Exploration of the Everyday Experience of Jewish, Christian and Muslim Vegans in Late Modern Britain

素食主义在当代社会中被广泛讨论，无论是在媒体还是越来越多的学术界，然而研究通常更关注世俗背景，而宗教背景仍然研究得很少。因此，我的研究旨在通过探索英国犹太人，基督徒和穆斯林素食者的日常经历来填补这一空白。我有兴趣探索这些人如何驾驭他们的素食主义和宗教生活，他们如何在宗教背景下理解素食主义，以及他们的日常做法是什么样的，例如他们如何驾驭仪式，他们参加活动时的经历是什么样的，他们吃什么食物，等等。我把重点放在这三个宗教上，因为它们都有亚伯拉罕的根源，因此在核心信仰和哲学上有很多重叠。亚伯拉罕宗教也经常与肉食和畜牧业联系在一起，因此它为探索素食主义提供了一个有趣的背景。我希望我的研究能揭示目前在素食主义者和宗教讨论中被忽视的许多关键点。这反过来又有望促进宗教人士和素食主义者之间更有意义的对话。这是一项质性研究，采用了一系列的方法，包括访谈，日记法，和参与观察。

Veganism is widely discussed in contemporary society, both in the media and increasingly academia too, however studies generally focus more so on the secular context, whilst the religious context remains poorly studied. My research therefore seeks to fill this gap by exploring the everyday experiences of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim vegans in the UK. I am interested in exploring how these individuals navigate both their vegan and religious lives, how they understand veganism within the context of religion, and what their everyday practices look like, for example how do they navigate rituals, what is their experience like when attending events, what foods do they eat, and so on. I focus on these three religions as they all share Abrahamic roots and so consequently have much overlap in core beliefs and philosophies. Abrahamic religion is also often associated with meat-eating and animal agriculture, so it makes for an interesting context in which to explore veganism. I hope that my research will bring to light many key points that are currently neglected in both vegan and religious discussions. This in turn should hopefully foster more meaningful conversations between religious individuals and vegan activists. This is a qualitative study, employing a range of methods, including interviews, diary methods, and participant observation.
