Environmental Science & Policy 340 - Climate Change: Making Social Change Happen
A Calderwood Seminar in Public Writing

Stop stressing about climate change and learn how to write to make social change happen. This Calderwood Seminar challenges advanced students in an intimate workshop setting to grow as writers and agents of change. We will investigate the coessential relationships between climate change and social change, and explore how writing can open the way towards a more sustainable and just society. Throughout the semester, students will build a writing portfolio that might comprise a policy brief, a blog post, an interview-based profile of a climate activist, and a newspaper op-ed. Classes will include collaborative editing workshops, guest lectures, and other activities to build a strong writing foundation to implement social change. This course may be taken in place of the required environmental integration course ENV 311. Enrollment limited to 12.
