Valerie Padilla Carroll, assistant professor of women's studies, presented at the 2014 American Society for Environmental History conference in San Francisco.
Her paper, "The Geneology of New Domesticity: Radical Eco Homemaking in the 20th Century" traces the genealogy of new domesticity, gendered affective labor, and eco/feminist activisms across the 20th century through the writings of self-sufficiency and back-to-the-land authors Myrtle Mae Borsodi and Helen Nearing.
