Course Catalog

This course examines climate justice education and action as an educational, political, and community-based practice. Students explore how educators, schools, and community organizations can engage children and youth in responding to climate change in ways that center equity, lived experience, and collective responsibility in both formal and informal settings. Topics include critical pedagogies, place-based and Indigenous education, youth activism, and curriculum design. Through critical readings, case studies, and collaborative projects students develop educational initiatives that support meaningful action and democratic participation among children and youth.
