About Dr. Happel-Parkins

Alison Happel-Parkins' research is focused on social and environmental justice. In the past, both her theoretical and empirical work has explored issues related to race, class, gender, and sexuality in K-12 spaces. In her theoretical work, she continues to focus on environmental justice, specifically the ways in which ecofeminist and ecocritical frameworks can help K-12 educators expand their curriculum in order to help students recognize their interconnections with other humans and the more-than-human world. Her most recent empirical research focuses on how women's experiences of sexuality and health are influenced by various institutions, such as the medical system, religion, education, etc.
