The New Ecozoic Reader

Prof. Sam Mickey discusses the volume he edited titled The New Ecozoic Reader this week. If you’re anywhere interested or adjacent to the study of Religion and Ecology, I highly suggest listening to the podcast episode here as well as reading at least the Introduction here to The New Ecozoic Reader (available for free download or you can order a print copy as well)! 

Lisa Dahill’s chapter on rewilding Christianity was particulary fascinating to me.

Season Five | Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology:

In this episode of Spotlights, our host discusses a very special issue of The New Ecozoic Reader that has just been released. This special issue, edited by the Forum’s own Sam Mickey and Sam C. King offers retrospective and prospective views on the field of religion and ecology: looking at where we’ve been, where things stand now, and how the field, and our work together, could evolve going forward. The issue is very intergenerational and includes essays by both esteemed and established figures in the field, and younger scholars, just emerging on the scene. The issue includes a foreword by Iyad Abumoghli of UNEP Faith for Earth Coalition, a preface by Sam King and Sam Mickey, an Introduction by Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim, and contributions from: Heather Eaton, David Haberman, Elizabeth Allison, Whitney A. Bauman, Ibrahim Ozdemir, Jason Brown, Kim Carfore, Sarah Pike, Lisa E. Dahill, Nancy Wright, Jim Robinson, Melanie L. Harris, Christopher Key Chapple, Dan Smyer Yu, Charisma K. Lepcha, Philip P. Arnold, Sandra L. Bigtree, Graham Harvey, Russell C. Powell, Rachael Petersen, Terra Schwerin Rowe, and Larry Rasmussen.
