Perkins, Patricia E. (Ellie)2020-03-142020-03-142019-07“Feminist ecological economics,” in ​Handbook of Feminist Economics​, edited by Gunseli Berik and Ebru Kongar (Routledge), submitted July 2019.https://hdl.handle.net/10315/37134Feminist ecological economics links gender and ecological perspectives both theoretically and practically, providing justification and impetus for considering gender, intersectionality, and ecology together in relation to economic activity. Such analysis reveals the material links between biophysical reproduction and social reproduction, and their importance for economies, despite their generally being undercounted and/or externalized. Feminist ecological economics analysis also generates important and timely insights about how economies might be structured differently to prioritize equity, ecological and political sustainability, and interspecies or ecosystemic well-being (Salleh 1997, 2009; Gibson-Graham and Miller 2015).Feminist ecological economics is closely related to ecofeminist economics, which is somewhat more critical since it is built on extensive ecofeminist analysis of the links between feminism and ecology. Both fields problematize and critique economies and economics from intersectional feminist standpoints. These fields are also intertwined with feminist political ecology, postcolonial feminisms, the subsistence approach theory, materialist ecofeminism, Indigenous feminisms, gender and development, feminist commons theory, and feminist degrowth theory (see Mellor 2002; Nixon 2015; Dengler; Akram-Lodhi and Rao; Tsikata and Torvikey; and Agarwal, this volume).enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 Canadafeminist ecological economicsgendereconomic activityecofeminist economicsecofeminist analysisIndigenous feminismsfeminist political ecologyecosystem servicesPreprint
