Operating on the premise that our failure to recognize our interconnected relationship to the rest of the cosmos is the origin of planetary peril, this volume presents academic, activist, and artistic perspectives on how to inspire reflection and motivate action in order to construct alternative frameworks and establish novel solidarities for the sake of our planetary home.

The selections in this volume explore ecologies of interdependence as a frame for religious, theological, and philosophical analysis and practice. Contributors examine questions of justice, climate change, race, class, gender, and coloniality and discuss alternative ways of engaging the world in all its bio-diversity. Each essay, poem, reflection, or piece of art contributes to and reflects upon how to live out entangled differences toward positive global change.

Constructive and practical, global and local, communal and personal, Ecological Solidarities is an innovative contribution to the discourses on relational and liberative thought and practice in religion, philosophy, and theology. It will be welcomed by scholars of World Christianity and theology, as well as seminary students interested in issues of justice and ecology.



“A creative, provocative, and methodologically diverse set of essays, Ecological Solidarities occupies a useful niche in scholarly discourse, engaging theopolitics and contemporaneous notions of planetarity and ecological awareness within frames of social construction, social dynamics, and subjectivities. This volume offers substantially unique new work and important revisitations of historical ideas and events.”

—Christiana Zenner, author of Just Water: Theology, Ethics, and Fresh Water Crises
