Introduction: Why I’m a ‘Green Ideologist’

Hey, thanks for clicking.

I am a student of history who wishes to do this type of thing for a living – thinking, writing, educating and, hopefully, changing. I have named my blog the Green ‘Ideologist’ because I believe ideas are central to our world is conditioned and conceived. As a historian my job is to challenge what most people in our age would deem ‘natural’ by deconstructing the narratives we build around it. Ultimately, I tend to show how that which is the most natural to us is that which is constructed. What I mean by this will be clearer in the posts that will follow.

What the ‘Green’ means in the name of my blog is harder to explain with words. Frankly, I am fine with you associating anything that the word ‘green’ invokes in your mind, except for the one-dimensional portrayal of nature as simply something green and sublime. The point is that I want you to think about what we imagine as we picture the word ‘green’ and why that might be the case. For some reference, taking a look at the short scraps of writings and images on my homepage might help.
