Mini-Unit: Climate Crisis and Revolutionary Ecology

I put together a one day mini-unit on “Climate Crisis and Revolutionary Ecology” for the course on anarchism that I’m teaching and I’m excited to discuss this with my students next week. It includes a range of different analysis (and strategies) and should provide a good entry point for understanding radical ecology.
