Teaching Climate Change in the Humanities

Teaching Climate Change in the Humanities

siperstein-coverEdited by Stephen Siperstein, Shane Hall, and Stephanie LeMenager. Routledge: New York, 2016.

Climate change is an enormous and increasingly urgent issue. This important book highlights how humanities disciplines can mobilize the creative and critical power of students, teachers, and communities to confront climate change. The book is divided into four clear sections to help readers integrate climate change into the classes and topics they are already teaching as well as engage with interdisciplinary methods and techniques. Teaching Climate Change in the Humanities constitutes a map and toolkit for anyone who wishes to draw upon the strengths of literary and cultural studies to teach valuable lessons that engage with climate change.

The book includes contributions from many ASLE members and an afterword by Bill McKibben.
