Meanings

  1. (uncountable) The study of relationships between people and their environment, especially the interdependence of people, collectives and institutions.
    • Social ecology, as it has been taught in Australia and elsewhere, is a broad, deep and tangential (out of the box) area of study. At its heart it imagines conversations across disciplines about social-ecological interrelationships. 2020, “Preface”, in David Wright, Stuart B. Hill, editors, Social Ecology and Education, Routledge, →ISBN:
  2. (uncountable) A philosophical theory about the relationship between ecological and social issues associated with Murray Bookchin.
    • We can now look more broadly beyond the political economy with which Bookchin was chiefly concerned to develop a more inclusive understanding of social ecology that takes in other dimensions of society, such as gender, race, technology, and cognition. 2012, Stephen M. Wheeler, Climate Change and Social Ecology, Routledge, →ISBN, page 102:
