Ecofeminism on the Edge: Theory and Practice - Hardcover

by Goran Đurđevic (Editor), Suzana Marjanic (Editor)

Ecofeminism is defined as a unique academic discipline, theoretical framework, and political and philosophical movement centred around both environmental and feminist concerns. With a special focus on education and underrepresented geographical locations, Ecofeminism on the Edge: Theory and Practice is an inclusive collection of theories, discourses, art, identities, and practices related to this discipline.

Expert contributors collaborate with junior scholars and early-stage researchers to demonstrate the compatibilities between different generations, academic backgrounds, political views, and gender perspectives for a holistic, globally conscious approach to ecofeminism and ecofeminist studies. Chapters focus on regions not yet represented in this discipline as well as emerging educational practices to provide a truly inclusive approach to the many creative solutions ecofeminism offers. Topics explored include promoting ecofeminisms plural as potential solutions for environmental and social crises, gender inequality, labour issues, and capitalism.

An interdisciplinary approach to an interdisciplinary field, Ecofeminism on the Edge: Theory and Practice understands ecofeminism as a connective point between issues of gender and the environment, one with strong solutional potential for two distinct, yet often interconnected, fields.
