JR: I’m in Berlin. Germany is again under lockdown. You’re in Austin. Texas has recently experienced mass blackouts, water and food shortages. We’re over one year into a pandemic that has shaped a large part of our lived reality. I believe it’s even more relevant under these conditions to explore what a critical pedagogy might look like today. I’d like to do this through revisiting theses regarding education in neoliberalism that you have developed in your recent work. In particular, in an essay you published in 2018, “Pedagogy of the Anxious: Rethinking Critical Pedagogy in the Context of Neoliberal Autonomy and Responsibilization,” you lay out how “the challenges posed to Paulo Freire’s conceptualization of the subject under neoliberalism have not been fully addressed,” how “we must seek to reinvent this in the context of conditions that he was not able to fully foresee,” and how this has reshaped the struggle for emancipation in terms of the “narrow autonomy that is offered by neoliberal education.” I’m very keen to have more depth or detail around the terms of critical pedagogy in the neoliberal context, and to do this I’d like to put a series of questions to you related to each of these terms, and to your arguments in this article, even if it means that sometimes I’m asking a similar type question from a slightly different angle. Before I do this, I want to begin with a short outline of the methodology course at the heart of the work we do at Goldsmiths. This is site and context-specific in how it connects the classroom to what’s beyond the classroom and how it connects the work students do to the world this inhabits. In other words, while the work we do in Goldsmiths is specific to a particular academic context, we understand this context to be contingent and permeable and to speak to other contexts within and beyond academia. The methodology brings a reflexive gaze to this work and to how it is embedded in and engages with what you describe as “neoliberalism’s logic of scarcity” or the “relentless competition for symbolic capital and self-driven human capital development.” In developing this

C. Levenstein, B. Rosenberg
The Senior Editorial Board is excited to introduce Charles (Chuck) Levenstein as the new Poetry Editor for Capitalism, Nature, Socialism. For decades Dr. Levenstein has served as one of the world’s leading scholars on worker health and safety issues. He is now a Professor Emeritus of Work and Environment at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. He is the former Co-Director of the Organized Labor and Tobacco Control Consortium, funded by the American Legacy Foundation at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. He has chaired the advisory committee for the United Steel Workers’ Federally-funded health and safety projects, as well as the advisory board of The New England Consortium, a NIEHSfunded collaboration of health and safety advocacy groups, trade unions and academics. In his 2002 book (with Greg deLaurier and Mary Lee Dunn), The Cotton Dust Papers, Dr. Levenstein examines the 50-year struggle for recognition of byssinosis (“brown lung”) in the United States. His most recent book (with Madeleine Scammell) is entitled The Toxic Schoolhouse, and examines how chemical hazards are endangering students, teachers, and staff in the education systems of the United States and Canada. Dr. Levenstein has also served on the IOM/NAS Committee on Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers, and is Editor Emeritus of New Solutions, a quarterly peer-reviewed journal of occupational and environmental health policy. He is a recipient of the American Public Health Association’s award for lifetime contribution to occupational health.

Ecosocialists and Degrowth Advocates should be friends. Our concrete political directions are often remarkably similar. However, we have fundamental theoretical differences. The Ecosocialist says the central drive of capitalists is appropriating surplus value produced by exploited workers. The Degrowth Advocate says the central drive of capitalists is promoting unending expansion of the economic system. Despite our theoretical disagreements, we need to work together to transform the capitalist system by working to implement the many policies on which we agree, or we will all lose. Within Marxist economics, capital accumulation is the gathering of wealth to the individual capitalist leading to the growth (or expansion) of the capitalist system itself. Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro puts it like this: “Capital accumulation ... is not reducible to ‘growth’ ... It is a process of appropriation and control to expand the ability to appropriate and control more [and is] not limited to... Gross Domestic Product calculations” (2012, 27–28). The material wealth enabling the complex process of capital accumulation, begins with the production, appropriation, and realization of surplus value (much of which becomes profits). Surplus value is produced by workers. Merely reducing or even reversing economic growth would not change the exploitative nature of capitalist relations of production. When it comes to operationalizing this high level disagreement (exploitation versus growth as the central capitalist drive), Ecosocialists and Degrowth Advocates mostly want the same things with lots of dispute on how to get there (or even whether we can get there). Both want to: (1) end the use of fossil fuels for energy production; (2) change the fundamental social structure in favor of something (not well defined by any of us) other than capitalism; (3) obtain more equal distribution of resources and wealth; and (4) adopt some of the more innovative and collective-oriented social structures being created by Indigenous peoples all over the globe. Good policy seems to follow from both schools of thought. Consideration of both

There is no shortage of popular-press books about climate change — by academics, public intellectuals, activists, novelists. Their target audience tends to be informed, interested, and concerned people, but not specialists. This includes most students in my first-year seminar on humanities and social science approaches to the climate emergency. Part of what we do is looking at how climate change is discussed in public discourse and popular culture. The works I look at here are books students are likely to encounter if they read on beyond my course, and that offer important insights into how conversations about climate change take shape. The first two books, Bill Gates’ How To Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need (2021) and Jason Hickel’s Less Is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World (2021), more-or-less offer solutions, though their solutions are radically different from each other and are not ready-to-apply toolkits. Gates focuses on technological solutions, while Hickel asserts the need to overcome our obsession with constant economic growth. Naomi Klein’s On Fire: The Burning Case for a Green New Deal (2019) provides no single solution, except for fighting many struggles, but does offer glimpses of where progress may emerge. In her frank assessment of the difficulties of the struggles ahead, including taking the prospects of exclusion and climate apartheid seriously, it is Klein who offers not only the more convincing argument but also the more responsible approach.
