Left-wing Human Sciences

A broad framework applying left-wing values to all disciplines studying human life—history, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and more. Left-wing Human Sciences examine how human experience is shaped by power, inequality, and social structure, and how knowledge can serve liberation. They draw on Marxist, feminist, anti-racist, and other critical traditions to analyze both human reality and the disciplines that study it. Left-wing Human Sciences are self-aware about their own political commitments, rigorous in their analysis, and committed to human flourishing.

"Psychology can pathologize resistance or it can understand it. History can celebrate power or it can tell stories from below. Left-wing human sciences choose—to study with the oppressed, to analyze with liberation in mind, to produce knowledge that serves freedom. Not propaganda, but scholarship that knows it's always political and chooses its politics wisely."
