Feeling Climate Uncertainty

Learn how to embrace uncertainty. What emotions relate to climate change?

—————————————————————

How can emotions hinder and/or bolster sustainability efforts?

—————————————————————

What novel artistic tools and processes can be used to connect with and resolve emotional responses to climate change?

How can we integrate other ways of knowing with traditional academic disciplinary knowledge?

Why are we so challenged by uncertainty?

We will investigate the critical role emotions play in socio-cultural responses (or lack of response) to climate change (and its intersecting social challenges). Together we will engage different knowledges, methods, and processes for accessing our emotions and honing our intuition and intellect- from art to qualitative and quantitative mixed methods and beyond.Students will then be able to collaborate on a culminating impact project of their inquiry-based design. It could be a public performance/art exhibit, a data collection/analysis white paper or prototyping their own novel system.
