About
This special issue of Canadian Woman Studies’ will focus on the social and environmental crises that threaten the preservation of life on our planet. It requires feminist attention to understand the dynamics of patriarchy and capitalism and to unmask ‘answers’ and ‘false solutions’ that obscure the current situation.

In this issue, we invite papers that
(1) explore the social forces confronting these crises associated with expanding commodification; and
(2) analyse ecofeminist ideas and other paradigms (e.g., commoning), along with women’s involvement in solidarity and justice movements that address these crises.
Possible Topics
1. Feminist understandings of the social and ecological crises;
2. The commons (civil and natural);
3. The Earth Summits;
4. United Nations climate talks;
5. Sustainable development;
6. Financialization of nature;
