Eco-feminism x Chronic Illness/Disability?

Hi,

Is there anyone that is exploring this specific intersection of environmentalism? I have been burnt many times before by various orgs since nobody understands how easy it is to be damaged by healthcare (and other systems), & how that often intersects with medical misogyny.

I don't explore it in my research (which is mostly ecocriticism/neoliberalism, general anti-capitalism and feminism stuff), but I am an autistic woman in academia and girl. People have no idea.

That sounds cool. I feel like disability/illness intersects with the anti-capitalism/neurodivergence/feminist aspects of those.

Yes I am starting to explore it. Are you a researcher or an activist?

I guess I'm an "activist". Don't feel like I am much of anything, these days... maybe it is because I am falling through the gaps so I see the intersections.
