A framework combining social ecology's insight that ecological problems are rooted in social hierarchies with critical theory's analysis of power, ideology, and domination. Critical Social Ecology argues that environmental destruction cannot be understood apart from social domination—that the logic that exploits nature is the same logic that exploits humans. It examines how capitalism, patriarchy, racism, and colonialism shape environmental crises, and how ecological movements can either challenge or reproduce these hierarchies. Critical Social Ecology is both analytical (understanding root causes) and political (imagining alternatives).
