The MEP’s Ecosocialist Study Group resumes consideration of capitalism’s catastrophic impact on the Earth’s climate and other critical systems, and ecosocialist strategies to challenge it. In eight weekly sessions beginning April 24, we will address important new work in ecological Marxism and environmental justice, with chapters from and critical reviews of these books, along with recently published essays by Andreas Malm and others:
- John Bellamy Foster, The Dialectics of Ecology: Socialism and Nature
- Shourideh C. Molavi, Environmental Warfare in Gaza
- Ajay Singh Chaudhary, The Exhausted of the Earth: Politics in a Burning World
- Kohei Saito, Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto
- Ashley Dawson, Environmentalism From Below: How Global People’s Movements Are Leading the Fight for Our Planet
All are welcome – participation in previous sessions is not required.
Convened by Fred Murphy who has co-led recurring ecosocialist sessions with Steve Knight since 2016. Fred studied and taught historical sociology at The New School for Social Research.
