Our focus is on the innate queerness of ecologies - their intertwinedness, excessiveness and ability to escape definition and category. We ask how ecology queers us through attention to and extension of other, more-than-human ways of being-with and thinking-with the earth, opening up new possibilities for collectively engaging with the more-than-human.
