Gay Hawkins is associate professor in cultural theory in the School of Media, Film, and Theatre at the University of New South Wales.
Those who read this welcome addition to the field will be treated
to a book that is well written, often clever, and surprisingly
insightful.
*PsycCRITIQUES*
A broad-ranging and highly readable book.
*The Geographical Journal*
Hawkins explores the intersections of habits, bodies, ethics, and
waste matter, toggling her discourse between acknowledging the
material reality of various wastes and the views derived from
cultural theory. Presents alternative approaches to waste in
today's world.
*CHOICE*
This book is incredibly stimulating and is carried very lightly by
Hawkins’ accessible and engaging writing. The Ethics of Waste is
essential reading for anybody interested in contemporary approaches
to waste but it is also an important addition to the sociological
literature on consumption, practice and environment.
*Sociology*
