Background

Biography

Alaimo is a leading scholar in the emerging field of ecocultural studies and has published widely in this field for several decades. Her most recent work focuses on sea creatures and the specificity of watery habitats. While her own work is distinctly interdisciplinary, her expertise at the intersection of feminist theory and ecofeminism (as evidenced in her authoring and editing of widely used books in this field, namely Material Feminism [2008] and Undomesticated Ground: Recasting Nature as Feminist Space [2000])will be of great benefit to the group. A pioneer thinker in posthumanist transcorporeal ethics, Alaimo will encourage all participants to think not only about our relations to geophysical waters, but to other animal bodies of water as well. Currently, Alaimo co-chairs the President's Sustainability committee at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Alaimo est une éminente universitaire spécialiste en études écoculturelles qui publie amplement dans ce domaine depuis plusieurs décennies. Sa plus récente étude s’intéresse aux créatures marines et à la spécificité de leur habitat aqueux. Travaillant à partir d’un contexte nettement interdisciplinaire, Alaimo est experte du carrefour entre la théorie féministe et l’écoféminisme (tel que l’atteste l’écriture et l’édition de livres employés à grande échelle dans ce domaine, dont Material Feminism [2008] and Undomesticated Ground: Recasting Nature as Feminist Space [2000]) dont le groupe pourra grandement tirer profit. Une penseure pionnière en éthique transcorporelle posthumaniste, Alaimo encouragera les participants à penser non seulement nos relations aux eaux géophysiques, mais aussi aux autres étendues d’eaux animales. En ce moment, Alaimo codirige le comité de President's Sustainability à la University of Texas at Arlington.
