About
Aihua Chen is a scholar working at the intersection of ecofeminism, science fiction studies, and comparative literature, with a particular focus on how gender and ecology are portrayed and critiqued across international literary traditions. Her most notable contribution is her edited volume *Ecofeminist Science Fiction: International Perspectives on Gender, Ecology, and Literature* (2022), which addresses a significant gap in existing scholarship by foregrounding the underexplored relationship between science fiction and ecofeminist theory. Drawing on Darko Suvin's foundational concept of cognitive estrangement, Chen argues that science fiction serves as a powerful vehicle for ecofeminist critique, envisioning alternative futures that challenge the parallel domination of women and the natural world. By bringing together international perspectives, her work broadens the conversation beyond Western-centric frameworks, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in gender studies, environmental humanities, and speculative fiction. Though her work is in its early stages of accumulating citations — currently holding 3 — its interdisciplinary reach positions it as a meaningful contribution to an increasingly urgent field of inquiry.
