About
Greta Gaard is a Professor of English and Women/Gender/Sexuality Studies at the University of Wisconsin, River Falls. Presented by CalArts MA Program in Aesthetics and Politics, this speaker series explores feminist intersections with ecopolitical issues such as extractivism, Indigenous sovereignty, colonialism, war, and multispecies relations. Each installment presents leading-edge feminist thought on survival and resistance in this time of climate emergency.
An economic system reliant on enslaving people, animals, and the earth cannot survive. Nature is far from heteronormative, and real climate justice will have to include all of us.

Greta Gaard, Climate Futures: Reimagining Global Climate Justice
about the artist
Greta Gaard is a Professor of English and Women/Gender/Sexuality Studies at the University of Wisconsin, River Falls. Gaard’s first anthology, Ecofeminism: Women, Animals, Nature (1993), positioned interspecies justice as fundamental to ecofeminist theory, and was followed by her co-edited volumes Ecofeminist Literary Criticism: Theory, Interpretation, Pedagogy (1998), International Perspectives in Feminist Ecocriticism (2013), and Contemplative Practices and Anti-Oppressive Pedagogies for Higher Education (2022). Her article, “Toward a Queer Ecofeminism” (1997), sparked developments in a field that became Queer Ecology. To date, her monograph Critical Ecofeminism (2017) is her most comprehensive work, earning her a position as a Fulbright Scholar in Germany (2022).
