Issue 23.2 is Now Available

Issue 23.2 centers around ecofeminism and the complicated ways in which feminism and eco-issues intersect. This issue we also include a Feminist Ethnography section in lieu of our With/in the Academy section.

We urge you to read Rebecca Ropers-Huilman's editorial introduction. The editorial staff here bids farewell to the journal and welcomes the new, fabulous staff from the University of Arizona!

In this issue, Susan A. Mann begins the ecofeminist cluster with an article discussing the historical ways in which women have fought and won for environmental justice. Greta Gaard follows with a discussion on the term "ecofeminism" and the complicated history this subset has had in the broader area of feminism in general. "Where the Boys Aren't" by Emily Gaarder explores the often very gendered world of animal rights activism and ecofeminism in popular culture is highlighted in Sara Hosey's article, "Canaries and Coalmines," as she explores toxic discourse in two popular films. Laura Severin discusses ecofeminism as it relates to poetry, delving into the work of two Scottish poets and their ecopoetics.

The issue rounds out with L. Ayu Saraswati's exploration of postcolonialism and female beauty in the Buru Tetralogy, while Judith Stevenson discusses the power and ideology of motherhood and resistance in South Africa.

And finally, in our Feminist Ethnography section. Kristin Ghodsee illuminates the complications of government intervention/interest in feminist ethnography and the ways in which this can harm subjects and interviewers, while Dána-Ain Davis and Christa Craven revisit feminist ethnography as a whole, contextualizing it within neoliberal policy.

In each issue, we work to live into our mission. We hope you enjoy our latest endeavor and find yourself enlightened and engaged!
