Course: ENGLISH 31AC:"Climate Change Fictions"
Instructor: Amy Lee
In Professor Amy Lee’s English 31AC course on Climate Change fictions, students studied how contemporary literature shapes the way we view and understand climate change, narrates its impacts, and envisions the future. Students interned at two organizations, HEAL Food Alliance and the West Oakland Indicators Project (WOEIP). At their internships, students examined the ways in which race, gender, and class structures distribute the effects of climate change unevenly across communities. At HEAL, they developed popular education materials and infographics that broke down complicated policies impacting our food systems. At WOEIP, students created a video publicizing the important work that WOEIP is doing to create healthy environments in West Oakland.
