Description

Thinking Ecologically, Thinking Responsibly brings together a transdisciplinary cohort of feminist, critical race, Indigenous, and decolonial scholars who build upon and seek to widen and deepen the legacy and potential of feminist philosopher Lorraine Code's work. Since the publication of her 1987 book Epistemic Responsibility, Code has been at the forefront of linking epistemologies, ontologies, ethics, and epistemic injustice to guide critical frameworks for responsible, situated knowing and practices. This volume both enacts and expands Code's theories, epistemologies, and practices. It points to how concepts such as epistemic responsibility and approaches like ecological thinking are not only theoretical frameworks for knowing the world well; they are also practices and approaches that more and more feminists and critical thinkers are embodying in their work in order to think, write, and live critically and responsibly.

Acknowledgments
This volume would not have been conceived if it had not been for Lorraine Code’s work, which always pushes the boundaries of how to do engaged feminist research. Her ability to think across a range of disciplines has provided a model and a theoretical and epistemological jumping-off point for many feminists in many disciplines. Thus, our deepest gratitude goes to Lorraine for helping us flourish as feminist scholars and for charting new pathways to do this work.
We’d also like to acknowledge our contributors to the volume, who engaged so thoughtfully with Lorraine’s work through critique and example building as well by furthering her ideas and applying them in new contexts. We especially appreciate how graciously they took our feedback and developed truly exceptional papers that make a significant contribution to feminist, critical race, and Indigenous theories and epistemologies. By doing so, they honor the legacy of Lorraine’s work.
Thank you to all of those who helped to shape this volume, especially Elizabeth Paradis for stellar editing; Kate Paterson for assisting with the Code bibliography and for managing the final stages of manuscript submission; to Jennifer Turner for assisting with correspondence with contributors; to Robyn Braun for the book’s Index; and to two anonymous reviewers for their critiques and enthusiasm for this volume. We are grateful to our SUNY editor Rebecca Colesworthy for her patience and sage advice.
We also both want to acknowledge the support of our families, friends, and colleagues throughout this project. Without them we would not be the scholars we are today, nor would we have the energy and strength to see lengthy academic projects such as this one through to their completion. Nancy thanks her family, Patrick and Arden, as well as Nancy Tuana, Shannon Sullivan, and all of the participants in the 2003 National Endowment of the Humanities Summer Seminar on Feminist Epistemologies. Lorraine was one member of the faculty who led a week-long session during the seminar. It was there that Nancy and Lorraine formed a professional relationship and friendship. Nancy appreciates the years of friendship and mentorship that Lorraine has provided. Andrea thanks her partner, Derek, and her three daughters (Vanessa, Hannah, and Lillian) for their support—and for listening to her talk about Lorraine Code’s work for many years. Andrea finally met Lorraine when they traveled together from Toronto to Corvalis, Oregon, to participate in the 2018 FEMMSS 7 conference in Oregon; they have remained in conversation since then. She is grateful to Natasha Mauthner and Carol Gilligan who have both played critical roles in her journey in feminist methodologies, feminist epistemologies, and narrative analysis.

Introduction
N ANCY A RDEN M C H UGH AND A NDREA D OUCET
Thinking Ecologically, Thinking Responsibly: The Legacies of Lorraine Code brings together a transdisciplinary cohort of feminist, critical race, Indigenous, and decolonial scholars who build upon and seek to widen and deepen the legacy and potential of Lorraine Code’s work. Since the publication of her 1987 book Epistemic Responsibility , which was reissued in 2020 by State University of New York Press, feminist philosopher Lorraine Code has been at the forefront of linking epistemologies, ontologies, ethics, and epistemic injustice to guide critical frameworks for responsible, situated knowing and practices. This volume both enacts and expands Code’s theories, epistemologies, and practices. It points to how concepts such as epistemic responsibility and approaches like ecological thinking are not only theoretical and epistemological frameworks for knowing the world; they are also practices and approaches that more and more feminists and critical thinkers are utilizing in their work to think, write, and live critically and responsibly.
In her most recent book, Manufactured Uncertainty: New Challenges to Epistemic Responsibility (2020), Code provides us with ways of elucidating the arc and potential of her work and challenges her readers to ask: who do you think you are? This question is not rhetorical: rather it is a significant query that one needs to ponder in order to be an epistemologically responsible ecological citizen and researcher. As Manufactured Uncertainty unfolds, Code revisits her former preoccupations—including climate change skepticism, the epistemic virtues necessary for responsible advocacy, the power and particularities of stories and testimonies, knowledge making as collective practices, and ecological social imaginaries of knowledge making and epistemic subjectivities—all with refreshed and incisive analysis.
Our volume, Thinking Ecologically, Thinking Responsibly: The Legacies of Lorraine Code , shares terrain with Manufactured Uncertainty . Indeed, we were writing and editing this book at the same time that Code was writing hers. We believe that this book is a valuable companion to Manufactured Uncertainty as we seek to engage with and widen the many path-breaking themes, issues, methodologies, epistemologies, and problematics to which Code has made major contributions throughout her fecund career of over forty years. This anthology provides critiques of her work, extending some of her arguments to areas Code might not have initially considered. For example, contributors to this volume connect her work with that of other leading think
