Peter Bohmer
I teach political economy at the Evergreen State College and have been active in diverse social movements since the late 1960's. I continue to believe in and work for an economic system based on human dignity for all, where poverty and exploitation are abolished, and where work is meaningful and fulfilling. I believe another system is possible that is sustainable and where cooperation, self-management and solidarity are fostered; i.e., a participatory socialist alternative to capitalism.
I am currently on a sabbatical for winter and spring, 2011. For 2011-2012, I will be co-teaching the Venezuela: Building Economic and Social Justice program with Anne Fischel. Our program will visit Venezuela from January to March, 2012.
In fall, 2010, I taught a Student Originated Studies program that was connected to the Center for Community Based Learning and Action (CCBLA). They do great work connecting Evergreen to the broader community.
In fall, 2009 and winter, 2010, I taught Political Economy and Social Movements with Larry Mosqueda and Savvina Chowdhury. In spring, 2010, I taught Current Economic and Social Issues with Peter Dorman.
In 2008-2009, I taught, Venezuela: Building Economic and Social Justice, with Anne Fischel. We traveled to Venezuela for winter quarter. We will be teaching this program again in 2011-2012 (see above)
In spring, 2008, I taught Political Economy and Social Movements with Dan Leahy and Jeanne Hahn.
