Everyday life is a key space of socio-ecological transformation. This book, starting from an ethnographic journey, investigates trajectories of change and continuity in the context of crisis. The socio-material relationalities encountered are read as part of, and resisting to, capitalist logics of exploitation, appropriation, and waste.

Mapping Gendered Ecologies brings together the perspectives of gardeners, teachers, activists, womanists, students, herbalists, and feminists. The contributors to this collection reflect on their intersectional identities, personal relationships, and ecological ties to engage with current crises a�ecting both humans and the environment.
