The Climate Justice Summer Institute is an online intensive three-day, workshop-style institute designed to help faculty participants hone their knowledge of climate justice issues and, with significant support, emerge from the Institute with one lesson created and ready-to-go for an existing course that addresses the looming threats of climate disruption and mitigation. Participants are not required to have any pre-existing specialization or knowledge of climate change. There are many intersections between climate justice and the current COVID-19 pandemic, and this summer’s institute will include an exploration of those.
We will begin with an introduction to climate justice and an example lesson, followed by group brainstorming and supported creation of your own lesson. Participants will implement the lesson in one of their courses during the 2020 – 2021 academic year. Conversations with an interdisciplinary group of faculty will help participants develop ideas to apply in their own courses. The facilitator has over 10 years of experience with infusing sustainability lessons into traditional discipline-focused courses, so all participants will be well-supported.
