Through the study of local and global activism, Women, Social Change and Activism: Then and Now engages scholars interested in the artistic, economic, educational, ethical, historical, literary, philosophical, political, psychological, religious, and social dimensions of women's lives and resistance. Through an interdisciplinary inquiry of past and present dilemmas that women and girls have faced globally, this book offers a variety of insights into multicultural issues even outside of the gender studies field.

Climate Change Education: Reimagining the Future with Alternative Forms of Storytelling offers innovative approaches to teaching about climate change through storytelling forms that appeal to today's students-climate fiction and protest poetry, horror and documentary films, video games and social media. The stories are used as exemplars, from exploring space debris to urban design planning to fast fashion and provide entry points for investigating particular aspects of climate science, including the local and global impacts of a warming planet. Each chapter provides analysis and strategies for fostering climate (and space) literacy through knowledge, empathy, and agency. The contributors encourage educators to answer students' calls for comprehensive K-12 climate education by aligning pedagogy with real-world challenges to prepare students who understand the myriad injustices of the climate crisis and feel empowered to confront them. Contributors from around the world share their own stories and urge educators to join the growing, hopeful movement for action, classroom by classroom.
