Futurity, Empathy, and the Queer Ecological Imagination
"We are the bird’s eggs. Bird’s eggs, flowers, butterflies, rabbits, cows, sheep; we are caterpillars; we are leaves of ivy and sprigs of wallflower. We are women. We rise from the wave. We are gazelle and doe, elephant and whale, lilies and roses and peach, we are air, we are flame, we are oyster and pearl, we are girls. We are woman and nature. And he says he cannot hear us speak. But we hear." - excerpt from the Prologue, Susan Griffin - Woman and Nature: The Roaring Inside Her
Woman and Nature: The Roaring Inside Her, by Susan Griffin
In this famously provocative cornerstone of feminist literature, Susan Griffin explores the identification of women with the earth both as sustenance for humanity and as victim of male rage. Woman and Nature, considered a classic of environmental writing, is credited for inspiring the eco-feminist movement. https://susangriffin.com

TWO-SPIRIT
For centuries, Two-Spirit people had to carry out Native traditions in secret. Now, they’re ‘making their own history.’ By Mary Kate Brogan VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY. APRIL 25, 2022
Two Spirit and LGBTQ+ Identities: Today and Centuries Ago by HRC staff • November 23, 2020
It is helpful to reflect on Two Spirit and LGBTQ+ identities in Native American communities, beginning during pre-colonial times, and the impact of colonialism on these identities today.

Though Two-Spirit may now be included in the umbrella of LGBTQ, The term "Two-Spirit" does not simply mean someone who is a Native American/Alaska Native and gay.
Traditionally, Native American two-spirit people were male, female, and sometimes intersexed individuals who combined activities of both men and women with traits unique to their status as two-spirit people. In most tribes, they were considered neither men nor women; they occupied a distinct, alternative gender status. In tribes where two-spirit males and females were referred to with the same term, this status amounted to a third gender. In other cases, two-spirit females were referred to with a distinct term and, therefore, constituted a fourth gender. ...there were important variations in two-spirit roles across North America....

Connectedness is the extent to which individuals include nature as part of their identity.[1] It includes an understanding of nature and everything it is made up of, even the parts that are not pleasing.[2] Characteristics of nature connectedness are similar to those of a personality trait: nature connectedness is stable over time and across various situations.[3] Schultz[1] describes three components that make up the nature connectedness construct:
Why doctors are increasingly prescribing nature
Outdoors Empowered Network The Problem: There is a growing disconnect between youth and the natural world -- Nature Deficit Disorder - resulting in physical, social, emotional and societal problems. A 2010 Kaiser Foundation study found that youth age 8-18 are exposed to an average of 7 ½ hours of screen time per day.[1] This study, along with a growing body of evidence that correlates the growing gap in our connection to nature with a variety of health problems, also suggests that there is a is a solution. The Solution: Nature and a solid dose of the great outdoors.
- The cognitive component is the core of nature connectedness and refers to how integrated one feels with nature.
- The affective component is an individual's sense of care for nature.
- The behavioral component is an individual's commitment to protect the natural environment.

I have a PhD in Religious Studies and have published work on ecopsychology, animism, embodied knowing and the power of place.
