Advanced Special Topics in Environmental Communication: Readings in Climate Change Communication
This ten-week reading group course is a deep dive into the science behind climate change communication. Each week, students will read one to two papers that center around different themes for discussion, such as communicating climate science across religious identities, using art or fiction to promote climate knowledge, climate beliefs in congressional committees, or the spread of climate disinformation. All participants are expected to read the papers before class, answer weekly online reflection questions, and participate in an active discussion. Each week may also feature a visiting faculty member with experience on that topic to enrich the discussions. In place of a traditional final, students will be asked in week ten to present in small groups on another set of papers of their choice that complement the course’s readings.
