RESOURCES FOR EDUCATORS
Educators! See our first major Educational Project:
A Guide for Educators on Climate Science and Colonialism
​
Based on our 2023 webinar series below
Two years in the making, this project integrates five talks from the webinar series into five modules, identifying and consolidating themes, with guiding questions, suggestions for further reading and references. Framing these are materials that provide general references for climate science and for colonialism, as well as an introduction, a guide to a preparatory discussion that foregrounds the local, and suggestions for use for high school and undergraduate college contexts.
Version 1 released January 2026;
Acknowledgments coming soon.
INAUGURAL EVENT
Can we do better?
Climate Science and Colonialism
6 October 2023
​
Our first event was a 2-part webinar series in 2023 on climate science and colonialism, Speakers included historians, policymakers, scholar-activists, anthropologists and interdisciplinary experts from around the world. The seven talks elucidated the links between climate science and colonialism in the past and its legacy today, as well as ways forward as we confront the climate crisis.
​
We are currently working on an Educator’s Guide based on these seven talks. The Educator’s Guide will include a preparatory discussion guide that will enable educators to foreground their local social-climatic context, along with video clips, a conceptual framework, further reading and suggested questions and discussion prompts. Our aim is to enable educators around the world in different contexts to adapt this guide to the particularities of their locations and contexts. We hope to release the first module in mid-2025!
