Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Please consider submitting an article to this Special Issue of Humanities on Black feminist ecologies. We welcome topics related to Black women’s nature writing, engagement with nature and environmental discourse, discourse on abolition, marronage, the Plantationocene, the Anthropocene, and Black, trans, and queer ecologies. We invite submissions of interdisciplinary essays that can take a range of forms, from literary analyses to sociological and historical perspectives on Black women’s relationships with, and representations of, the natural world.
