Cleo Wölfle Hazard with Stephanie Clare: Queer Trans Ecologies and River Justice
Washington's 70,000 miles of rivers are vital to our region's ecosystems, hosting a wide variety of life in the waters and along their banks. Undoubtedly, the state would not be the same without its waterways—how might we better understand and protect them? Enter queer trans feminist river scientist Cleo Wölfle Hazard, whose book Underflow: Queer Trans Ecologies and River Justice
calls on river science, queer and trans theory, and environmental justice to better understand the cultural and political forces at work within five sites of water conflict and restoration on the West Coast. For this talk, Hazard will be joined by Stephanie Clare, author of Earthly Encounters: Sensation, Feminist Theory, and the Anthropocene.
