"Undoing Monogamy is an important contribution to feminist and queer studies of science, to feminist materialisms, and to academic studies of non/monogamy.... Undoing Monogamy provides us with an example of how to approach science differently in ways that are grounded more in the lives and needs of a wider variety of diverse humans and nonhumans." - Kim TallBear (Hypatia) "The value of Undoing Monogamy to scholars of non/monogamy is unquestionable. The careful, historical attention to the way that non/monogamy has been implicated in colonial logics and ongoing projects of racism is a vital contribution to the field." - Jessica Kean (Australian Feminist Studies) "[Undoing Monogamy] has something to teach everyone: every reader will find something new and unfamiliar in its pages." - Clare Chambers (International Feminist Journal of Politics) "The thoroughly interdisciplinary methodology, alongside ethical and joyful visions of a ‘dyke science,’ give us all a new way forward, where we do not make easy scapegoats of disciplines, but interrogate and integrate our various disciplines through our deeply naturecultural worlds." - Banu Subramaniam (Science, Technology and Society) "A richly interdisciplinary book . . . that demonstrates a facility and ease with multiple approaches in feminist science studies. . . . Willey’s really substantive contribution to queer theory and sexuality studies, which is that the idea of monogamy and nonmonogamy as sexual practices-as sex itself-has been obscuring something of value: the expansive social worlds that might emerge if both monogamy and its others were critiqued." - Kyla Tompkins (American Quarterly) "Undoing Monogamy makes a key theoretical intervention: clarifying ow new materialist approaches can build on, rather than depart from (or at worst, ignore), the insights of feminist science studies. Angela Willey makes a necessary and pointed contribution. . . . This is a scholar to watch for self-reflexive, multidisciplinary, and intersectional feminist research that challenges us all to conceive of critique and world-building as compatible projects." - Kyla Schuller (Catalyst)
