Sarah Ensor is an assistant professor of English at UW-Madison whose teaching and research focus on ecocriticism, queer studies, American literature, and various intersections thereof. She is currently finishing a book on queer environmental ethics in the absence of futurity, which reads queer sites of provisionality in order to trace how temporariness and (apparent) futurelessness can engender, rather than preclude, forms of commitment, community, intimacy, and care. Her second book, tentatively titled Queer Fallout: Nuclear Families and Other Toxic Kin, explores fallout as a material, relational, and methodological category that spans queer and environmental thought.
