This course is the UCSC offering of a collaboration among various faculty across the UC system, led by the UC Center for Climate Justice. Slightly different versions are being taught on the various UC campuses. Drawing inspiration from a long history of social justice movements, this course hopes to prepare a new generation of climate justice changemakers. This interactive course centers around equity with a holistic systems perspective. Systems thinking allows us to envision the larger system changes we need to make in order to adequately address the climate crisis. Through asynchronous lectures, students will learn directly from faculty from all across the state of California who are experts in various aspects of climate justice. In addition, students will engage with readings and multimedia content designed to deepen their understanding of the most pressing issues and solutions related to climate change. After engaging with lectures and supplemental materials on their own time, students will come together for one hour of synchronous online discussions to engage in active learning activities related to the asynchronous course content. Space will be made for students to reflect and discuss, giving them time to process and retain these different forms of knowledge, as well as opportunities to dialogue with peers and build community through discussion and group work.
