Abstract

In this publication of her PhD thesis in political sciences, located in the field of feminist political ecology, Sarah Hackfort analyzes the dynamics of gender and inequality in the context of climate change from an intersectional perspective. Her work is underpinned empirically by qualitative field studies in Chiapas/Mexico. Due to its multifaceted approach and its topicality it constitutes an important contribution to social-scientific climate research. It needs to be highlighted that the author's major concern is to use intersectional and contextualized analyses as a means of countering tendencies of homogenization and of victimizing women in debates on vulnerability and adaptation within the field of climate research.
