Professor Goode’s Tolley Professorship Focus: Creating Climate Change Teaching Materials, Partnerships
Former HC Faculty Fellow expands outlets for environmental humanities research
The Humanities play an instrumental role in shaping thinking about the past, present and future of environmental and climate change issues. Scientists can present hard data about the climate crisis and other ecological challenges. But it is humanists who are apt to consider the uneven social and personal impacts of these challenges, to translate environmental science for wider human understanding and action, and to examine what it is we even mean when we use words like “climate,” “environment,” “atmosphere,” “nature” or “ecosystem.”
