For feminist perspectives, see for example Welch 1985 and Elizabeth Schussler-Fiorenza (ed.) 1996. Environmental theologies have been strongly influenced both by liberation theology and ecofeminism; see Radford Ruether (ed.) 1996. Postcolonialist theologies are interested in deconstructing western dominant regimes of knowledge; for exemplary studies, see Pui-lan 2005 and Catherine Keller, et al. (eds.) 2004.
