Through a “careful and determined attention to silences and illegibilities formed by oppressive beliefs, practices, and institutions [...] we can begin to understand not only how the lineages of oppressions between differences such as sex, class, sexuality, and race can be intermeshed, but can also animate attention to the infusing of such lineages with environmental exploitation” (Tuana 2019:3).
