Intersectional Activism in Environmental Communication: Changemakers Respond to Ecological Crises

Intersectional Activism in Environmental Communication explores the representation of environmental activism around the world. Exploring issues from Indigenous women’s activism in Brazil and India to energy protests in South Korea, to the Dakota Access pipeline construction on Standing Rock Sioux territory, to the contours of the internet, this collection offers critical reflection points for the representation of environmental activism and theorizes the various channels and audiences for embodied and mediated environmental communication. The intersectional approach reflected in this work explores circumstances where powerful interests distract, dissuade, and undermine emergent voices and the ecological values they articulate. This volume addresses how intersectional environmental activism can effectively challenge systems and practices that perpetuate ecological degradation and environmental injustices.
