Toward a Feminist Ethic of Self-Care for Environmental Educators
Lloro-Bidart, Teresa; Semenko, Keri
Journal of Environmental Education, v48 n1 p18-25 2017
Feminist theory and philosophy have examined how dominant ideologies oppress women, nonhuman animals, and the environment. Feminist scholars also have begun to discuss how neoliberalism problematically re-inscribes women as the primary providers of care, regardless of the impact of this care work on their own well-being. This article synthesizes feminist writings about temporality, relationality, and self-care alongside Foucault's ideas about "care for self" and feminist environmental education scholarship that considers care in order to develop a feminist ethic of self-care for environmental educators that challenges neoliberal ideologies.
