Stacy Alaimo has long been passionately concerned about environmentalism, animal ethics, and social justice, writing from places where those concerns intersect and sometimes collide. Stacy Alaimo is the Barbara and Carlisle Moore Chair Professor of English and Core Faculty Member in Environmental Studies at the University of Oregon. She researches, writes, and speaks on environmental theory, science studies, literary and cultural studies, and the blue (oceanic) humanities. Her concept of "transcorporeality" encapsulates a feminist and environmental theory of new materialism. She is the author of Undomesticated Ground: Recasting Nature as Feminist Space (2000); Bodily Natures: Science, Environment, and the Material Self (2010) which won the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment book award; and Exposed: Environmental Politics and Pleasures in Posthuman Times (2016). She co-edited Material Feminisms (2008) with Susan J. Hekman, edited the 28-chapter volume Matter (2016) in the Gender series of Macmillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks, and edited a special volume of Configurations on Science Studies and the Blue Humanities. She co-edits the Elements series at Duke University Press. Her work has been widely reprinted and translated into at least 13 languages. Her research has inspired art exhibitions, artworks, architecture, a Portuguese play and a Greek zine. Her recent work focuses on the ocean, including her new book, The Abyss Stares Back: Encounters with Deep-Sea Life (University of Minnesota Press, 2025).
