Greta Gaard
Greta Claire Gaard (born 1960 in Hollywood, California) is an ecofeminist writer, scholar, activist, and documentary filmmaker. Gaard's academic work in the realms of ecocriticism and ecocomposition is widely cited by scholars in the disciplines of composition and literary criticism. Her theoretical work extending ecofeminist thought into queer theory, vegetarianism, and animal liberation has been influential within women's studies. A cofounder of the Minnesota Green Party, Gaard documented the transition of the U.S. Green movement into the Green Party of the United States in her book, ''Ecological Politics''. She is currently a professor of English at University of Wisconsin-River Falls and a community faculty member in Women's Studies at Metropolitan State University, Twin Cities.
==Ecocriticism and ecocomposition==
Gaard has applied ecofeminist theory to both literary criticism and composition instruction, thereby contributing feminist insights to the emerging fields of ecocriticism and ecocomposition.
''Ecofeminist Literary Criticism: Theory, Interpretation, Pedagogy,'' edited by Gaard and Patrick D. Murphy, was the first anthology to examine not only how ecofeminist theory might enhance literary criticism but also how close reading of texts might inform ecofeminist theory and activist practice. This development in ecocriticism was welcomed by scholars who, along with Simon C. Estok, believe that "if ecocriticism is to have any effect outside of the narrow confines of academia, then it must not only define itself but also address the issue of values in ways that connect meaningfully with the non-academic world."〔Estok, Simon C. "Bridging the Great Divide: Ecocritical Theory and the Great Unwashed." ''ESC: English Studies in Canada'' 31:4 (December 2005), p. 197. Full text available (here ())〕
Gaard's widely cited contribution to ''Ecocomposition: Theoretical and Practical Approaches'' similarly argues for the activist applications of scholarly theory, asserting that "at its most inclusive, ecocomposition has the potential to address social issues such as feminism, environmental ethics, multiculturalism, politics, and economics, all by examining matters of form and style, audience and argumentation, and reliable sources and documentation."〔Gaard, Greta. “Ecofeminism and EcoComposition.” In (''Ecocomposition: Theoretical and Practical Approaches.'' ) Ed. Sid Dobrin and Christian Weisser. Albany: State University of New York Press, 2001, p. 163.〕
