So I just ran into Greta Thunberg and I have some thoughts ...

[Anne Pasek @aepasek]

It's basically a feminist, anti-racist history of climate writing's recent past--highly recommend!

Excellent discussion of hope and solution-based pedagogy in this thread and the comments.

[Thomas Finger @Thomas_D_Finger]

I have anecdotally noticed that optimism among students about the future has tanked over the last 5 years. In response, I have re-framed my environmental history classes around hope and solutions rather than damage and disorder.

[Sarah Stanford-McIntyre @sarahthestan]

A timely and thoughtful look at the legacy of Chernobyl! Will be using this in class next semester (teaching energy history to engineers) as a great way to contextualize events in 1986, the HBO mini series, and why history matters.

Was asked by a scientist at a public environmental humanities event yesterday why the humanities are always “pushing their methodologies on the sciences” & why they don’t incorporate the scientific method into humanities work. Said he felt the sciences were being marginalized.

[Matt Henry @DrJustFutures]

#envhum folks, what does the future of the environmental humanities look like? Does that future lie outside of the academy?
