Course Description
Spanning political theory and practice, the course begins with an assessment of influential 19th-century critiques of capitalism and industrialism. Students then consider the rise of modern ecologism and the recent turn to green capitalism, which in turn sets the stage for in depth engagement with ecology and the politics of technology, contemporary anarchist ecologies, post-capitalist and post-industrial utopian imagination, and contemporary anti-capitalist and ecological social movements.
