Intersectional Activism in Environmental Communication

“Intersectional Activism in Environmental Communication contributes to and reconceptualizes existing scholarship on environmental activism in environmental communication, rhetorical studies, and interdisciplinary fields. Through a diverse set of topics, cases, and voices, the authors show how intersectionality, as an analytic, attends to the pervasive influence of interconnected structures of oppression and the complexity and multiplicity of identity in the context of environmental activism. As a collection, this book highlights how intersectionality can help make our movements for change more equitable, transformative, and just.”— Bridie McGreavy, associate professor at University of Maine and coauthor of Rhetorical Climatology
“An important, useful, and timely book. The interesting activism-focused chapters within this volume expand the application of intersectional theory in the field of environmental communication, simultaneously strengthening the justice scope of the field and bringing ecological focus to broader intersectional inquiry.” —Tema Milstein, professor of environment and society, University of New South Wales Sydney, and coeditor of Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity and Environmental Communication Pedagogy and Practice
“Intersectional Activism in Environmental Communication amplifies the scholarship of a new wave of environmental communication research that cares about how social and environmental identities intersect. From collective action to eco-celebrities, this volume spotlights how the most significant critical interruptions of climate and environmental justice advocacy is grounded in matters of ecology, economy, and equity.”—Phaedra C. Pezzullo, professor at University of Colorado Boulder and author of Beyond Straw Men: Plastic Pollution and Networked Cultures of Care
