Our Place in the World was initiated 18 months ago in April 2009.
As an “ecosocialist journal,” it has provided information relevant to the history, theory and practice that is informed by socialism, evolutionary biology, Deep Ecology, and Big History. The 101 posts so far provide information relevant to these fields or their intersection; they are listed in chronological order below with hyperlink for reference and easy access. I like to thank those who provided ideas, article, and comments to enrich and improve this journal.

This agenda is more ambitious than the prevalent concepts of ecosocialism as they largely aim to fuse socialism (various trends in anarchism or Marxism) with ecology. However, I am convinced that theories and practices forged up to the present are not sufficiently radical, that is, they do not go deep enough, to fully appreciate the pathology of the human condition and its ruinous impact on life on Earth.
All readers are invited to submit information, articles, and comments relevant to the goals of Our Place in the World.
