In her latest book, Disabled Ecologies: Lessons From a Wounded Desert, Sunaura Taylor looks at a Tucson, Arizona Superfund site's effects on human bodies and the surrounding ecology. The book explores issues of disability and environmentalism- connecting both concepts in novel ways. Taylor describes debilitating and sometimes life-ending injuries, but also maps out connections, solidarity, and resistance—an environmentalism of the injured. Increasing climate disasters and legacies of pollution make Taylor's work relevant for all of us.

Sunaura Taylor is an artist and writer, and has written for a range of popular media outlets. Her artworks have been exhibited widely both nationally and internationally. She is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, Berkeley.
