Climate Change Education

3 cr · Undergraduate

This course explores why climate change matters in education, including from Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being. It draws on key academic and public perspectives to explore political, ethical, social, cultural, and material factors associated with human responses to climate change, as well as current approaches to climate change education research, policy, and practice. Important principles for designing good climate change education will be identified to address barriers to action and provide support in attending to local and global social and ecological precarity, injustices, and threats. Students will have opportunities to develop their own approaches to Climate Change Education, steeped in anti-colonial praxis for social and ecological justice. May not be held with EDUB 3502 when titled "Climate Change Education."
