23 Environmental Justice
-
Zoe Lee-Park
Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the concept of environmental justice and how it intersects with gender and the feminist political geography and environmental justice literature. Environmental justice is a broad movement and field of study that promotes all people’s ability to live, work, and play in clean and safe environments. Feminist political geographers have made important contributions to key debates by bringing attention to sites and spaces that have been neglected in traditional environmental justice analyses – which tend to focus on race and class – notably, the home or domestic sphere and the body. This chapter highlights a nascent but important area that feminist scholars have been spearheading; that of environmental reproductive justice. Overall, this chapter shows how feminist political geography is integral to our understandings of environmental justice, and of social justice and liberation more broadly.
