CRITIQUE-EEHN Session – How to Teach in a Burning World (29 January)

Smoke above a forrest.

Please join us on Wednesday 29 January for an EEHN-CRITIQUE reading group, where we will be discussing The Existential Toolkit for Climate Justice Educators: How to Teach in a Burning World. This edited volume provides a much-needed discussion of how we can develop innovative pedagogies and teaching practices that are attuned to the intellectual, emotional, and practical challenges of living and teaching in an age of climate emergency. The book is also available online through the UoE library.

The book has many excellent chapters, and most of them are fairly short (6-10 pages). We suggest reading the 12 page introduction by Sarah Jacquette Ray and Jeniffer Atkinson, and then each of us can read whichever chapters speak to our interests. We don’t need to read the same chapters to have a fruitful discussion – the goal is not just to have a close reading and critical evaluation of the text, but also to share and discuss different teaching strategies, ideas, challenges, and experiences in ways that can stimulate further reflection and creativity on how we teach about the ecological crisis.

CMB 3.15 –  3pm-4.30pm
