     My first book, Strange Natures: Futurity, Empathy, and the Queer Ecological Imagination (Seymour 2013), has further contributed to the development of queer ecology, rereading well-known contemporary queer novels and films as environmental polemics and theorizing why such reaadings have not been possible before.
