This is an accepted article with a DOI pre-assigned that is not yet published.Quantitative tools for evaluating energy justice allow users to make comparisons across options quickly. Most of these tools overrepresent distributional justice, however, at the expense of other dimensions that are more difficult to measure (e.g., procedural, recognition, and reparative justice). Although funding, time, and an openness to incorporating qualitative know…

Feminist approaches to environmental politics
Ecofeminism as scholarship and practice continues to polarize, draw criticism, and inspire scholarly works
A Conversation with Cara Daggett about Affect, Sentimentality, and Extractivism
Cara Daggett was interviewed by Axelle Germanaz and Daniela Gutiérrez Fuentes on March 22, 2022. The conversation revolves around the complex, yet understudied, relationship between sentimentality, affect, and fossil fuel extraction. As she reflects on her thinking of 'petro-masculinity' and energy systems in light of sentimentality, Daggett provides important hindsight on the role of affect and emotions in environmental and energy politics, on s…
Pluralizing energy justice
Justice represents not only a moral obligation but can enhance the legitimacy and acceptance of a rapid push toward global decarbonization. Innovations in technology, even those geared toward sustainability, can both reinforce and introduce new inequalities and disparities across populations, while also perpetuating environmental degradation. The concept of energy justice has emerged as a conceptual, methodological, and empirical tool to both hig…
Energy and domination
A just and sustainable energy transition will require not only new fuels, but new energy stories. The dominant, ‘fossil’ myth of energy, depoliticizes the forward march of energy intensity over human history. Instead, we need energy stories that more fully account for the role of political domination in major energy transitions of the past. Fossil domination is historically unique in its marriage of racial capitalism and imperialism, but it may a…

World-Viewing as World-Making
Instead of world-viewing, a feminist approach to science and technology encourages an approach of world-making. Relying too heavily on vision (our “view”) imports a problematic Western tradition that assumes the possibility of a disinterested gaze “from nowhere” at distant objects “over there”. Meanwhile, feminist studies of science assumes that we are always intimately situated within the world, amongst things. World-making has two advantages: w…
Petro-masculinity
As the planet warms, new authoritarian movements in the West are embracing a toxic combination of climate denial, racism and misogyny. Rather than consider these resentments separately, this article interrogates their relationship through the concept of petro-masculinity, which appreciates the historic role of fossil fuel systems in buttressing white patriarchal rule. Petro-masculinity is helpful to understanding how the anxieties aroused by the …
Drone Disorientations
Killing with drones produces queer moments of disorientation. Drawing on queer phenomenology, I show how militarized masculinities function as spatiotemporal landmarks that give killing in war its “orientation” and make it morally intelligible. These bearings no longer make sense for drone warfare, which radically deviates from two of its main axes: the home–combat and distance–intimacy binaries. Through a narrative methodology, I show how descri…
