Diversity for your syllabus; plus a new article

[Jeff Colgan]

Hi,

Great to see all the sharing in this GEP community. In that spirit, and with this year’s Black Lives Matter resurgence in mind, you might be looking for some diverse perspectives on climate change. I’ve been working to capture some — from African-American, Australian aboriginal, East Asian, and voices from the Global South — on my new course syllabus, Politics of Climate Change. This course: (1) focuses on politics (not physical science), (2) is solution-centered (not ‘admiring the problem’), and (3) amplifies diverse voices. 

Syllabus attached - feel free to pilfer from it. Features lots of work from members of this list, too. I focused especially on readings from 2015 or later.

Speaking of which, one of those pieces is "Asset Revaluation and the Existential Politics of Climate Change,” a new forthcoming article in International Organization by Jessica Green, Thomas Hale, and I. It’s available online now, for free, at: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3634572
