Critical Norths and Disability Studies & the Environmental Humanities are out!

Years of waiting are over!  I'm so excited to see these in print, finally. Critical Norths: Space, Nature, Theory (U. Alaska P) was co-edited with Kevin Maier, and seeks to challenge dominant myths and narratives about the "North," and includes essays by scholars from different disciplines.  The book is divided into three parts: The Vanishing North?, Thinking with Northern Animals, and Notions of North and Nation.


Co-edited with Jay Sibara, Disability Studies and the Environmental Humanities (U. Nebraska P) and with a forward by Stacy Alaimo, this book seeks to be a reader that brings together these fields.  It's divided in two sections to make it useful for course adoption. The first is comprised of foundational essays that reflect the launch of this intersection; this section honors that early work, such as Mel Chen's "Lead's Racial Matters", Eli Clare's essay on "cure", and my essay "Risking Bodies in the Wild."   The second part of the book is comprised of new essays.
