Melina Packer is Assistant Professor of Race, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. She is coauthor, with Ambika Kamath, of Feminism in the Wild: How Human Assumptions Have Shaped the Science of Animal Behavior.
""Toxic Sexual Politics is a profoundly original book. Melina Packer’s pathbreaking scholarship persuasively demonstrates how the science of toxicology is deeply rooted in heteropatriarchy and white supremacy. Accordingly, she invites us to consider the implications of this fact even and especially when that body of knowledge may lend support to environmental justice advocates’ campaigns. Packer effectively reframes and articulates what is at stake for we humans, our non-human relatives and our planet and I hope we heed her call and rise to the challenge."" * David N. Pellow, author of What is Critical Environmental Justice? * ""Toxic Sexual Politics is deftly written, darkly comic, and searingly urgent; I feel like I have been waiting for this book for decades. This book comes from a long line of feminist science studies scholarship and it does its forbearers - from Donna Haraway to Emily Martin to Mel Y. Chen - proud. Packer takes up the reins of science writers in the legacy of Rachel Carson to tell us a story about gender, politics, industrialism, and toxicants that will change the way readers see the world around them."" * Traci Brynne Voyles, author of The Settler Sea: California's Salton Sea and the Consequences of Colonialism *
