A leftist approach to evolutionary psychology—questioning conservative assumptions about human nature while taking evolution seriously. Leftist Evolutionary Psychology asks: What if cooperation, sharing, and egalitarianism are as evolved as competition? What if human nature includes immense plasticity, shaped by social environments? What if evolutionary stories that naturalize hierarchy are ideology, not science? Leftist Evolutionary Psychology doesn't deny evolution; it insists that evolutionary explanations must be scrutinized for their political content and that human nature is both real and variable.
"They say men are naturally aggressive, women naturally nurturing—therefore patriarchy is natural. Leftist Evolutionary Psychology asks: what's the evidence? How much cultural variation? Could the same data support different stories? Evolution happened, but the stories we tell about it reflect our politics. Leftist evolutionary psychology tells different stories—about cooperation, about plasticity, about possibility."

Leftist Anthropology

A leftist approach to anthropology—studying human diversity with attention to power, inequality, and resistance, and with commitment to human liberation. Leftist Anthropology asks: How do economic systems shape cultures? How do people resist domination? What can we learn from societies that organize differently? How can anthropology serve struggles for justice rather than colonialism or exploitation? Drawing on Marxist, feminist, and anti-colonial traditions, Leftist Anthropology studies humans with solidarity, not just curiosity.
"They studied a society and called them 'primitive.' Leftist Anthropology asks: primitive by whose standards? What about their economy, their resistance, their wisdom? Anthropology can exoticize or it can learn. Leftist anthropology learns—from everyone, especially those fighting domination. Not just studying others, but standing with them."

re-lenting

The Catholic act of giving up again for Lent what one gave up in the first place, after a moment of weakness.
"Okay, so I ate a case of Cadbury Creme Eggs last night, but I'm re-Lenting. I'm back off the sugar until Easter. And this time I mean it. That's my bad, God."
