I think of teaching as a step in the formation of a thinking adult who can negotiate ambiguity and contradictions, and because of that, I not only take it very very seriously but that is also the reason why I insist on taking the specific cultures that I inhabit as foreground for a process of examination and contemplation.\u00a0\u00a0I think there is no better way to do this except through and engagement with literature.<\/p>\n

In the literature segment of climate change I tried to introduce the students to a creative and artistic way of examining global warming.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We read (insert books and movies)\u00a0and examined various scenarios of climate change.\u00a0\u00a0These authors wanted to warn their readers, make fictional projections about the future and examine possibilities for the world they inhabit as it is being affected by climate change.<\/p>\n

Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NJSP 2015 Program’s focus was on Climate Change and the Human Experience, with lectures and seminars emphasizing four main areas: Science\/Engineering, Literature\/Film, History\/Politics\/Ethics, and Anthropology\/Sociology.\u00a0\u00a0The Anthropology and Sociology seminar investigated the impact of climate change on human culture.\u00a0\u00a0From native peoples in the Arctic to remote islands of the South Pacific, we looked at the threats to culture and survival posed by warming temperatures, melting ice, and rising seas.\u00a0\u00a0Then we considered the catastrophic impacts of drought, floods, heat, and famine in highly populated areas like Bangladesh, China, and the American West, with a focus on refugees, women, and public health.\u00a0\u00a0Finally, we examined sustainability and our survival as a species, looking at whether we can consciously change our patterns of consumption and agriculture and, in doing so, how we can discover a meaningful life.<\/p>\n
