Confronting Climate Change, Transforming Cultures: A College of Arts and Sciences Theme Semester, Spring 2020
Climate change has been rapidly altering our environment and, in doing so, has necessarily altered how we must think about nearly every other issue and aspect in our world, including health, racial and gender inequality, politics, economy, immigration, environmental justice, and more. We are pressed to address climate change scientifically and think about it in historical and sociological terms, in terms of the psychology of denial, as well as through art, culture, and language.
For the Spring 2020 semester, the College of Arts and Sciences has created the Confronting Climate Change, Transforming Cultures curriculum, which brings together several courses from across our programs and disciplines. This suite of courses aims to tackle many of these issues, dimensions, and challenges from a diverse range of perspectives and disciplinary lenses.
In addition to courses, the College of Arts and Sciences will sponsor a series of university and public events to engage the broader community in much needed discussion and action to positively impact Northeastern, the Albany Park community, and the greater Chicagoland area.
