A compendium of diverse women and nonbinary femmes, the second, expanded edition of this book highlights the contributors’ journeys with straddling social and ecological issues through both their professional and personal paths and reveals how straddling these edges has surfaced new learning, models, and practices for collective healing. The contributors span multiple generations and positionalities and are prominent academics, writers, teachers, artists, leaders, and healers. Ecological and Social Healing is rooted in the power of integrating multiple and often conflicting views and the transformations that result.

This book is rooted in academic theory as well as personal and professional experience and highlights emerging models and insights. It will appeal to those working, teaching, and learning in the fields of social justice, environmental issues, women and gender studies, animal rights, ecopsychology, spirituality, transformative studies, transdisciplinarity, leadership, and interdisciplinary/intersectionality studies, as well as anyone straddling the boundaries of gender, race, ecology, and the crises of our times and are looking for new ways of being.
