Bringing together essayistic reflections, artworks, and interviews with space scientists, engineers, and astronauts past and present in one volume, \u003ci\u003eSpace Feminisms\u003c\/i\u003e inspects the transformation of terrestrially held notions of gender, race, class, and ableism as they migrate to the extraterrestrial, whilst drawing new connections between feminist thought and extraterrestrial power structures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpace Feminisms\u003c\/i\u003e makes a radical enquiry into how earthly power structures are already expanding into our skies, facilitating a collaborative and interdisciplinary platform for scholars, artists, and designers to imagine radical constructions of human futures beyond Earth. At the intersection of scientific, cultural, social, and artistic speculations, the book gathers leading scholars, scientists, artists, and designers to develop innovative tactics and disruptive participations to create generative, alternative, and radical futures of and in space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarie-Pier Boucher\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology, University of Toronto, Canada.
