Regina Hall Instagram – Today’s #WCW goes to the brilliant Dr. Chelsea Mikael Frazier (@amazon_scholar) a Black feminist ecocritic—writing, researching, and teaching at the intersection of Black feminist theory and #environmental thought. 

After encountering many people who couldn’t (or wouldn’t) see the connection between feminism and ecology, and seeing issues like sexism and racism being brushed under the rug in favor of paying attention to the environmental crisis, Dr. Frazier created Ask An Amazon (@askanamazon), a platform that brings light to the connections between these largely ignored issues. 

Dr. Frazier is a Faculty Fellow in the @CornellUniversity Department of English and in the Fall of 2021 she’ll begin her tenure-track appointment as an Assistant Professor of African American Literature. She is also currently at work on her first book manuscript—an ecocritical study of contemporary #Blackwomen artists, writers, and activists. Dr. Frazier, like many of us, has found that in order to understand how to change our environments, we must first do A LOT of (un)learning in order to change ourselves. #EcoFeminist #BlackEcologist #AskAnAmazon

“Properly addressing #ClimateChange cannot be done without tackling all these other issues, too.”
