Nicole Seymour (CSU Fullerton) and Sarah Jaquette Ray (CSU Humboldt) will present a lecture on their recent scholarship on affective ecocriticism and their experiences supporting students through emotionally challenging climate change curricula. They will also discuss their experiences compiling content for UC-CSU NXTerra--an interdisciplinary repository for climate change resources. This event is part of the Environmental Affect Working Group, an ongoing interdisciplinary project that engages with how best to approach climate change in the university classroom.

This event is sponsored by the UC Davis Department of English.
