Join two leading scholars at the cutting edge of environmental humanities for a conversation about intersectional and transnational approaches to ecological work. This introduction to Trans* Ecologies invites us to contend with gender, sexuality, race, colonialism, and disability when approaching science and technology, ecological devastation, and climate crisis.

Presented by the Institute for Advanced Study and the Queer and Trans* Ecologies Interdisciplinary Initiative. Co-sponsored by the Critical Disability Studies Collective; the Center for Race, Indigeneity, Disability, Gender & Sexuality Studies (RIDGS); Environmental Humanities Initiative; Department of Anthropology; and Department of Geography.
