This completely revised second edition of Gender and Environment
explains the inter-relationship between gender relations and
environmental problems and practices, and how they affect and
impact on each other. Explaining our current predicament in the
context of historical gender and environment relations, and
contemporary theorisations of this relationship, this book explores
how gender and environment are imbricated at different scales: the
body; the household, community and city through concepts of work;
and at the global scale. The final chapter draws these themes
together through a consideration of waste and shows that gender is
an important dimension in how we define, categorise, generate and
manage waste, and how this contributes to environmental problems.
Contemporary examples of environmental activism are juxtaposed with
past campaigns throughout the book to demonstrate how protest and
activism is as gendered as the processes which have created the
situations protested about. The author's experiences of working
with both the European Union on gender mainstreaming environmental
research and practice, and with environmental groups on
gender-based campaigns provide unique insights and case studies
which inform the book. The book provides a contemporary textbook
with a strong research foundation, drawing on the author's
extensive research, and professional and practice activity on the
gender-environment relationship over the past 20 years, in a wide
range of geographical contexts.
