About the Author
Phaedra C. Pezzullo is a distinguished scholar and author whose work bridges environmental rhetoric, cultural critique, and social justice. With a keen eye for the intersections of travel, pollution, and activism, she explores how narratives of toxicity shape public discourse and policy. Her groundbreaking book, Toxic Tourism: Rhetorics of Pollution, Travel, and Environmental Justice (Rhetoric Culture & Social Critique), examines the ways in which sites of environmental degradation become contested spaces for advocacy and tourism. Pezzullo's research draws on fieldwork and rhetorical analysis to illuminate marginalized voices in the fight against ecological harm. As a professor and public intellectual, she continues to influence conversations on sustainability and equity through her incisive writing and engaging lectures.
