Climate Change across the Curriculum examines ways of thinking and
conveying information about climate change across university
curricula and within academic disciplines. The contributors provide
methods, strategies, rationales, and theoretical justifications for
teaching climate issues at the university level. The content of
this book aims to introduce climate change to classes outside of
the sciences, as it will take a wide range of disciplines, broader
institutional thinking, and experimentation to fully engage
university resources and knowledge toward the mitigation of fossil
fuel consumption and adaptation to the negative consequences of
climate change. Climate Change across the Curriculum encourages
professors to engage salient aspects of their academic disciplines
to the study of climate issues in the classroom, as well as sample
theories, practices, and resources from a wide range of academic
disciplines outside of their own areas of specialization. The
contributors ask: what role will higher education play in
addressing environmental challenges and producing students who
become professionals who accomplish work that solves these
problems?

changes, then, align with current best practices in the teaching of
writing which privilege inquiry and critical thinking over rote
recall and rule-following.
