I have discovered Val Plumwood´s thought recently, when studying ecofeminst issues. In my opinion, her thought is the richest among the ones who tried to understand the intersection of Feminism and Ecologism and the links between all kinds of domination in western tradition. I find her constructive critiques towards the Enviromental philosophies quite important. Yes, I do think she is not enough known and recognized among scholars and activist from different liberation movements around the world. All feminists, ecologist, enviromentalists and philosophers should get to know her great work. I will talk about her every time I can to expand her anti-dualistic and anti-domination message. Go on with the work.

Greetings from Spain (and excuse my poor use of English language),

I was reading Raimond Gaiata’s “The Philosopher’s Dog” and then tried to find some book reviews, and I finally came to Val Plumwood critique that gave rise to new questions in my mind. I searched Plumwood’s name on the Internet to send her a mail but sorrily I noticed she has passed away. Anyway, I offer my condolensce and hereby express my respect for Val. Give my hello to your friends who are Val’s.
Best Regards,
Keshavarzi

I am a french philosopher working on environmental ethics since several years. I have heard about Val Plumwood since the beginning of my work in this field, and I have been in contact with her from june 2007 to december 2007 because I planned to organize a seminar with her in France (but did’nt finally succeed to do it).
What we need, I think, is a complete bibliography of Plumwood’s work. Could you please make it available as soon as possible?
Thanks.
Hicham Stéphane Afeissa.

Thank you for doing this – for Val, and for all of us who loved and admired her. I am working on a story, hope to have it ready soon, and have some pictures from high school days and one of Val in her garden, with Mark, my husband – me taking the picture, of course! I know there must be other photos, I have searched… if I find more, I’ll send them in. Please encourage others to send in their stories and pictures! Also, perhaps you could use the pictures in some of the newspaper articles?
Thank you verey much for this wonderful effort
Johanna
