Teaching Square: Climate Justice

Polar bear in a melting iceberg

Sign up by April 5 to allow the facilitator time to plan the first meeting.

This teaching square will help participants hone their knowledge of climate justice issues and, with support, teach one aspect of climate justice and climate change in an existing course. This may range from spending 5 – 10 minutes teaching one disciplinary concept within the context of climate justice to teaching an entire lesson or unit around climate change. Participants are not required to have any pre-existing specialization in or knowledge of climate change, or any pre-existing lesson plans for teaching it in their course. To start, we will offer examples of how climate justice and climate change have been integrated into specific BC courses, including English, Literature, Technical Writing, Criminal Justice, Anthropology, Computer Science, Math, Physics, and Poetry. Then, with support, participants will implement one aspect of climate justice and climate change into their own course. Conversations with other faculty and observations of other courses will give faculty ideas to apply in their own courses.

Don’t miss out, register today!

 

Location: TBD | 10 PD Hours – 9 seats | $150 stipend (offered by the Office of the Provost)
