This paper argues that environmental justice (EJ) scholarship, activism and policy that aims to 'be intersectional' by definition needs to include disability and ableism and, moreover, will benefit from specifically considering disability as a category of analysis. Incorporating inter sectionality into EJ work means considering the implications of intersectional theory for collective liberation, for explanations of the sources and consequences of multiple systems of oppression and for theorizing connections among related justice struggles. This paper first takes each of these in turn, providing an explanation of what constitutes an intersectional approach. It then demonstrates how a disability justice approach further enriches ongoing work at the intersections of EJ and racial justice.
