HISC 9 Ecological Marxism
In recent years, numerous scholars and activists have turned to Karl Marx's thought to help make sense of our present ecological predicament—and imagine ways out of and beyond it. This class introduces Marx’s fundamental ideas about labor, nature, and capital, with a focus on the ecological dimensions of his thinking. It also examines current Marxist perspectives on ecological crisis and their convergence with ecofeminist, anti-colonial, and Indigenous standpoints.
