We close off the Special Section with an afterword on "Ecological Inqueeries" by Juno Salazar Parreñas and Nicole Seymour @nseymourPHD reflecting: What is queer in queer ecologies? What is ecology in queer ecologies? And are queer ecologies white?.

"Toxic Erotics and Bad Ecosex at Windermere Basin" by Astrida Neimanis @AstridaNeimanis insists on a version of ecosexual erotics that, while joyous, remains imbricated in fraught histories and complicities to build an affective politics of change.

"Rolf Hammerschmidt’s Boytropolis and the Ethno-Ecological Imaginary" by Ian Fleishman argues that Boytropolis exposes a troublingly normative homotopian vision that relies on environmental and racial homogeneity, and eco-imperialist politics of conquest.
