This short seminar explores the climate crisis as a problem of economic, cultural, and symbolic domination. Understanding capitalism as an ecology of power, capital, and nature, we will consider the origins of planetary crisis, the contradictions of environmentalist thought, and the possible pathways to climate justice in the twenty-first century.
