Content

Ecofeminism is a heterogeneous field of theoretical and political practice. A realm of emancipatory praxis before being an academic set of theories, it raises distinct issues in different world areas and their entanglements. This panel will bring together approaches that deploy and expand ecofeminist insights as critical tools of transformative knowledge and approaches that take critical stances towards some aspects of current ecofeminist projects.
