At the first event in our teach-in series, <\/span>The Ethics of Pedagogy During Crisis<\/b>, we discussed the use of contemporary documentary images in our classrooms. We struggled with what it meant to work with uncomfortable images and topics, and shared moments of difficulty or even failure from our own experiences. Dr. Monica Patterson spoke of the importance that this kind of difficult knowledge has in the classroom, and the pressing need to engage students in issues that have no easy solutions. For our second event we have collaborated with the <\/span>Carleton Climate Commons<\/b> to build off these ideas and consider pedagogical approaches to the climate emergency.<\/span><\/p>\n

We situate our conversation around the climate emergency that we are all living with to think critically about the knowledge, experience, and emotions that we and our students bring to the classroom. Teaching about the vast environmental degradation of our planet must also contend with the immense scale of the problem \u2013 one of the key challenges to teaching the climate emergency is remaining attentive to its interconnection with various, overlapping systems of oppression and exploitation that both create and maintain opportunities for environmental destruction. Our conversation invites collaboration across disciplines to consider the role of systemic thinking in climate pedagogy.<\/span><\/p>\n
