Reducing anxiety in environmental studies (new paper)
Wallace, Richard
Dear GEP-Ed friends,
As many of us wind down the semester (or gear up for final exams or assignments), I want to share a paper that I had the pleasure of publishing with a wonderful student of mine, Jess Greenburg, and my long-time collaborator, Susan Clark. The paper is entitled “Confronting anxiety and despair in environmental studies and sciences: an analysis and guide for students and faculty,” and is now available in the online first section of the Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences (JESS). In the paper, we attempt to provide some guidance on how to teach and learn environmental studies and sciences in a manner rich in empathy, that integrates concerns for anxiety and despair felt by both students and faculty. While we wrote the paper prior to the pandemic, we hope that you find its recommendations timely and useful.
The full text of the paper is available online here: https://rdcu.be/b3Gxf
It can also be accessed through the “Online first articles” link on the JESS website: https://link.springer.com/journal/13412/volumes-and-issues
Alternatively, please email me if you would like a pdf.
Hoping this finds you safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Rich
