223Climate Change, Vulnerability, and ResponsibilityHypatia 26 (4): 690-714. 2011.In this essay I present an overview of the problem of climate change, with attention to issues of interest to feminists, such as the differential responsibilities of nations and the disproportionate “vulnerabilities” of females, people of color, and the economically disadvantaged in relation to climate change.

26Thoughts on Lesbian DifferencesHypatia 13 (1). 1998.Cheshire Calhoun argues that thinking of lesbians as a subcategory of women provides an insufficient basis for considering key differences between lesbians and straight women, and that these politically significant differences are therefore erased by theories and politics that take the subject of feminism to be women.
