Stacy Alaimo is an Associate Professor of English at the University of
Texas at Arlington, where she teaches courses in multicultural
literatures of the U.S., critical theory, cultural studies, and
environmental humanities. She has published essays on feminist theory, green cultural studies, American literature, and film, as well as a book entitled, Undomesticated Ground: Recasting Nature as Feminist Space (Cornell, 2000). She is currently writing a book entitled Bodily Natures: Environmental Health, Environmental Justice, and Material Ethics, which examines literature, film, popular culture, and science studies, in order to forge a new environmental ethic that emerges from the interface between human bodies and nonhuman nature. Her interest in emerging theories of materiality has also led her to co-edit a volume of feminist theory, with Susan Hekman, entitled Material Feminisms (forthcoming from Indiana UP, 2007), which brings together feminist environmentalism, corporeal feminism, and feminist science studies. She currently serves as the official Liaison between ASLE (Association for the Study of Literature and Environment) and the SLSA (Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts).
