Career

Garner read for a BA at the

political lobbying on behalf of animals.[4] In 1993, while still at Buckingham, he published his first book: Animals, Politics and Morality, with Manchester University Press.[5] A revised and updated version was published in 2004.[6] In the book, Garner charts the history of the animal protection movement, setting out key positions taken on animals and exploring the possibility of change.[7][8][9] Also in 1993, co-writing with Richard Kelly, Garner published a textbook entitled British Political Parties Today. This was also with Manchester University Press, and was part of the Politics Today series.[10] An updated version was published in 1998.[11]

After a time at the

Reader.[19]

In 2005, Garner published both Animal Ethics

professor at Leicester.[24] In 2009, the first edition of his textbook Introduction to Politics, co-authored with Peter Ferdinand and Stephanie Lawson, was published with Oxford University Press.[25] A second edition followed in 2012,[26] a third in 2016,[27] a fourth in 2020,[28] and a fifth in 2023.[29] Additionally, textbook called simply Politics by the three was published by Oxford in 2018.[30]

2010 saw the publication of The Animal Rights Debate: Abolition or Regulation by

reformist stance.[32][33][34] Garner became a founding member in 2011 of the Centre for Animals and Social Justice, a British charity that aims to "embed animal protection as a core goal of public policy".[35] In 2011, Garner explicated a theory of animal rights in A Theory of Justice for Animals, which was published by Oxford University Press.[36] In this work of political philosophy, Garner defends a novel theory of justice affording rights to animals.[37][38][39][40][41]

Two edited collections followed: Oxford University Press's The Ethics of Killing Animals (co-edited with

green political theory, this has a narrower focus than his earlier Environmental Politics, which covered green politics generally.[44] In 2020, writing with Yewande Okuleye, Garner published The Oxford Group and the Emergence of Animal Rights with Oxford University Press. The book is an intellectual history of the Oxford Group, based on interviews with surviving members of the group.[45] Garner retired from Leicester in 2020 and began an MA in creative writing at the University of East Anglia.[46]
