“Intersectional Activism in Environmental Communication contributes to and reconceptualizes existing scholarship on environmental activism in environmental communication, rhetorical studies, and interdisciplinary fields. Through a diverse set of topics, cases, and voices, the authors show how intersectionality, as an analytic, attends to the pervasive influence of interconnected structures of oppression and the complexity and multiplicity of identity in the context of environmental activism. As a collection, this book highlights how intersectionality can help make our movements for change more equitable, transformative, and just.”— Bridie McGreavy, associate professor at University of Maine and coauthor of Rhetorical Climatology
