"Bodily Natures: Science, Environment, and the Material Self": A presentation by Stacy Alaimo November 3, 2009

Stacy Alaimo is a professor of English at the University of Texas at Arlington. She has published essays on feminist theory, eco-theory, green cultural studies, American literature, and film, as well as a book entitled Undomesticated Ground: Recasting Nature as Feminist Space (2000). She is currently working on a book entitled Bodily Natures: Science, Environment and the Material Self, which examines literature, film, popular culture, architecture, and science studies, in order to forge a new environmental ethics that emerges from the interface between human bodies and nonhuman nature. Her interest in formulating new theories of materiality has also led her to co-edit a volume of feminist theory, Material Feminisms (2008), which brings together innovative theories of nature, human bodies, and science.
