Creative Forms of Writing in the Age of Covidocene

The Green Theory and Praxis Journal (GTPJ; ISSN: 1941-0948), founded in 2005 founded by Anthony J. Nocella II, Steve Best, Mark Somma, Michael Becker, and Richard Kahn, arose out of two projects: the “Revolutionary Environmentalism: A Dialogue Between Activists and Academics” Conference on February 13-14, 2003, at Fresno State University and Igniting a Revolution: Voices in Defense of the Earth (Best and Nocella 2006). GTPJ is a carefully peer reviewed, intersectional social justice publication focused on the global ecological community. This academic-activist journal is dedicated to expanding and challenging classic scholarship on environmental issues, as the field has long been dominated by white, able-bodied, Christian, Western-colonial perspectives on ecology, wilderness, nature, and the environment, with a deficit of criticism against corporate greenwashing and capitalism.

The Green Theory and Praxis Journal (http://greentheoryandpraxisjournal.org/) is calling for proposals exploring the entanglements of COVID – 19 into creative forms of writing (poetry, fiction etc.). We seek work that advocates for changed paradigms, challenges new thinking, and above all, encourages us to reimagine our future.
