Ariel Salleh
Biography:
Dr. Ariel Salleh is a sociologist of knowledge with activist experience in mining politics, water and biodiversity conservation. She taught the first Australian ecofeminist course at University of New South Wales in 1983; was Visiting Scholar in Environmental Education at NYU 1990-92; Associate Professor in Social Ecology at University of Western Sydney, 1996-2004; and is Visiting Professor, International Political Economy & Ecology Summer School at York University, Toronto in 2005.
Besides the book Ecofeminism as Politics, Dr. Salleh has contributed some 150 articles, reprints, and public lectures to the literature on ecology and social justice. A 1984 gender critique of deep ecology in Environmental Ethics resulted in a decade of debate. A book in-progress develops her theory of the meta-industrial class.
Dr. Salleh is an editor of Capitalism Nature Socialism, US; Advisory ed to Organization & Environment, US; and International Journal of Water, UK. She also served on the Australian Government's Gene Technology Ethics Committee 2001-2004, and is currently on the Board of the International Sociological Association Research Committee for Environment & Society.
