From Laura Baich ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) Indiana University Press is pleased to announce the recent publication of: Queer Ecologies Sex, Nature, Politics, Desire Edited by Catriona Mortimer-Sandilands and Bruce Erickson "A carefully crafted and well-executed volume, this collection intervenes in several important contemporary discourses in ecology, eco-politics, and queer theory, as well as more longstanding discourses of science and history." —Shannon Winnubst, Ohio State University Treating such issues as animal sex, species politics, environmental justice, lesbian space and "gay" ghettos, AIDS literatures, and queer nationalities, this lively collection asks important questions at the intersections of sexuality and environmental studies. Contributors from a wide range of disciplines present a focused engagement with the critical, philosophical, and political dimensions of sex and nature. These discussions are particularly relevant to current debates in many disciplines, including environmental studies, queer theory, critical race theory, philosophy, literary criticism, and politics. As a whole, Queer Ecologies stands as a powerful corrective to views that equate “natural” with “straight” while “queer” is held to be against nature. 424 pp., 3 b&w illus. cloth 978-0-253-35483-9 $75.00 paper 978-0-253-22203-9 $27.95 For more information, visit: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/product_info.php?isbn=978-0-253-22203-9 For Instructors: If you are interested in adopting this book for course use, please see our exam copy policy: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/information.php?info_id=122&meid=122 _________________________________ Dr. Andrea Veltman Assistant Professor of Philosophy Department of Philosophy & Religion James Madison University MSC 8006 Harrisonburg, VA 22807 Office phone: (540) 568-4236 _________________________________ ________________________________ From: Baich, Laura J [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2010 10:17 AM To: Veltman, Andrea Lynn - veltmaal Subject: Book announcement for FEAST listserv Hi Andrea, I’ve attached an announcement about a new book we’ve published called Queer Ecologies.
