Ecological Thought

Information

A group for the reading and discussion of ecological theory and criticism.

The majority of ecological theory centres on sustainability and being 'green', the latter as a synonym for the former. But arboreal green is only one colour amongst many: Ecological Thought seeks to consider what other colours or shades, ontologies or materialisms, might be employed in ecological theory and criticism.
