Back

Chaone Mallory, a 1999 graduate of the M.A. Program in Philosophy with a concentration in Environmental Ethics at UNT, has accepted a position as Assistant Professor of environmental philosophy at Villanova University, beginning in fall 2006. Chaone will complete her Ph.D. in Environmental Studies, Science, and Policy with a focus in Philosophy at the University of Oregon in the summer of 2006.

Her specializations include ecofeminism, green political theory, and ecofeminist political philosophy. Her dissertation is entitled 'Subject to the Laws of Nature': Ecofeminism, Representation, and the Politics of Subjectivity. She has published an ecofeminist critique of Aldo Leopold's hunting narratives in Ethics and the Environment, and recently published an article for Capitalism, Nature, Socialism on intersections of ecofeminist theory and women's and transgender activism in radical forest defense communities in the Pacific Northwest.

Chaone also served as a keynote speaker at an international environmental conference in Belarus in 2003. Chaone feels that the quality and rigor of her education in environmental ethics at UNT as well as the opportunity to study with founding members of the field provided her with suberb training and preparation for the professional practice of environmental philosophy.

After August 2006, she can be reached at chaone.mallory@villanova.edu.
