Art des Beitrags: Open reading and discussion event
Beschreibung: Part
of the difficulty of climate change is that the consequences of our
carbon use are emerging slowly and globally, rather than in a single
disaster. This makes it challenging to construct the vision and motive
to fight it. Climate Change Fiction (Cli-Fi) explores the possibilities
of a changing and changed world, providing a productive way to make
abstract futures more immediate. In this evening event, we will read a
range of Cli-Fi aloud: from children's picture books to young adult
novels, poetry, short stories, and adult fiction. This evening reading
provides an opportunity for you to sit back with your favorite beverage
and listen in, thinking about ways we currently live and ponder what our
future might look like. After the reading, we will open the space for
discussion and questions.
This reading is part of the "Tea with Teachers" series hosted by the Institute for English and American Studies. The event's readers, Amanda Halter and Jaime Hyatt are current lecturers, teaching courses on topics like Environmental Children's Literature as well as Eco-Activism in American Studies. The pair are also members of the Ecocriticism Research Collective.
