Abstract: This roundtable brings together scholars from various backgrounds, positionalities and stages of career, i.e. (Doctoral, Postdoctoral, Assistant, Associate and Professor) with shared interests in feminist and intersectional approaches to environmental politics. Participants will come together to offer an examination of environmental challenges through a gendered lens. Collectively, our approaches to these issues encompass a range of interdisciplinary perspectives, and different forms and locations of community, practice, and policy engagement and together we will engage in a kind of praxis of critical “caring with” each other to discuss other possible worlds that entail what “caring for the future” may look like (Tronto, 2013). This roundtable discussion will cover themes that reflect our collective interests and ongoing work that address themes of critical ecofeminism, politics of care, intersectionality, identity and belonging, environmental justice, self-determination, decolonial futures and Indigenous community-engagement
