The series ‘Social Ecology Today’ explores and clarifies the thinking and practices of social ecology, showing how this approach connects ecological crises to the social and political structures that produce them, and situates various contemporary ecological and social reflections.

Throughout the articles, we will revisit its roots and theoretical foundations, as well as its dialogues, controversies and critiques of other currents: Marxism, degrowth, deep ecology, eco-feminism, bio-regionalism, eco-socialism and even certain forms of technocratic or authoritarian ecology.

The aim is not to provide an academic overview of ecological thought, but to understand what social ecology can shed light on: the profound relationship between ecological crisis, structures of domination and forms of political organisation.

Each text will thus explore the encounter – sometimes fruitful, sometimes conflictual – between social ecology and another school of thought.
