Climate Change and Environmental Sociology
April 7, 2023

The climate crisis is a major contemporary problem that affects all of us. Some of us are teaching in places seeing direct impacts via more extreme "natural" disasters. While others may be located in places where the impacts are less direct or obvious. Regardless, sociology instructors should strive to incorporate climate change and environmental sociology more directly in our instruction. In the Climate Change and Environmental Sociology resource collection, you will find teaching modules, assignment instructions, and a syllabus to help you add sociological insight to the climate crisis.
