CLEAN Network Teleconferences

Abstract: The Art and Science Partnership Guidelines were created to support communities and organizations who hope to catalyze place-based action on environmental issues through art, science, and community collaboration. By bringing together scientists, artists, and community representatives together and merging complementary ways of knowing, inquiring and rethinking, partnerships provide new approaches to communities' environmental and social justice issues. The goal of these guidelines is not to come to a finite conclusion on how to solve problems but rather to provide support for better informed and innovative facilitation through each partnership, and to springboard partners to a new point of wonder. In Spring 2021, a preliminary draft of the guidelines was piloted in Boulder, CO. In this presentation, the guidelines and pilot will be presented along with questions that have emerged.

Bio: Patrick Chandler is a PhD candidate at the University of Colorado, Boulder who has fifteen years' experience working in and developing environmental education, stewardship, and science programs. His current focus is the co-creation of guidelines to help bring together partners from multiple epistemologies to work together on projects for a sustainable future, including working with artists and arts organizations to catalyze collective action on social and environmental issues. Recent co-authored publications include a chapter in Teaching Climate Change in the United States titled, "Teaching from the heart through the arts," (Chandler, Osnes, & Boykoff, 2020) and an article in Comedy Studies, "Good-natured comedy to enrich climate communication" (Osnes, Boykoff, & Chandler, 2019). Before beginning graduate work at Colorado University, he worked as the Education Director for the Washed Ashore Project and retains his role with them as a consultant. Washed Ashore raises awareness about marine debris by creating sculptures from items found on the beach and using those sculptures to spark changes in consumer habits. Prior to joining the Washed Ashore team, Patrick spent five years in Alaska where he taught biology for Kenai Peninsula College, served as the International Coastal Cleanup Coordinator for Alaska, and worked as the Special Programs Coordinator for the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies.

Abstract: Climate change is rapidly making the business of getting the foods we love and need to our table more challenging—just about everything on the menu is changing. Plants, the basis of life, require the right temperatures, water, soil, air, and sunlight. All but sunlight is changing and having subtle and, in many cases, ominous impacts on our foods and beverages. The flavors of teas, the availability of natural vanilla and avocados, vitamins in rice, and the source of our wines are all changing. Given the cultural, historical, and personal connections everyone has to food, this climate change story must be told. There are unlimited ways to educate others about climate change through food as well as share the many ways we can address the challenges facing our food. The webinar will be based on—Our Changing Menu: Climate Change and the Food we Love and Need and a companion website. The changing menu is seen as a way to join forces—consumers, producers, chefs, restaurateurs, and food businesses—to find a common ground and draw more attention and action to address this grand challenge of climate change. We all eat.

Bio: Michael Hoffmann dedicates all of his time to the grand challenge of climate change and helps people understand and appreciate what is happening through food. Melting glaciers are bad enough but the loss of coffee is downright terrifying – this keeps him going. He tells the climate change story with passion, a little humor, and without doom and gloom. It's a science-based message about what is happening and what we all can do about it. He has published climate change articles in the popular press - The Hill, Fortune, and USA Today and co-authored a book – Our changing menu: Climate and the foods we love and need (Cornell Press 2021). His TEDx Talk – Climate change: It's time to raise our voices has been well received. Previous positions he has held at Cornell include Executive Director of the Cornell Institute for Climate Change Solutions, Director of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, associate dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, associate director of Cornell Cooperative Extension, and director of the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program. He is a professor emeritus in the Department of Entomology. He received his BS Degree from the University Wisconsin, MS from the University of Arizona and PhD from the University of California, Davis.

Abstract: This presentation will give an update on the development of a web resource "Climate in Arts & History: Promoting Climate Literacy Across Disciplines" (www.science.smith.edu/climatelit/). We will discuss the process of compiling, researching, formatting and posting information on climate-related topics in the subject areas of art, history, languages, literature and music, and showcase several specific examples such as:

Art - "Lithographs of the Alps from The Little Ice Age" and "Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Gottlieb Luetze (1851)";

History - "The Beginning and End of the Maya Classic Period," "The Rise and Fall of the Western Roman Empire," "The Migration of Humans into the Americas" and "Nile River Flood in Ptolemaic Ancient Egypt"; and

Literature - "Frankensteinby Mary Shelley (1818) and The Vampyreby John William Polidori (1819)."

We will visit the webpage of each example, where we briefly describe the topic, explore its connection to climate, and provide links to additional resources.

Although we anticipate that this resource is of potential interest in higher education and to the general public, our original intention was to gear it towards K-12 teachers. Consequently, our future work will also include aligning the content with educational standards and developing activities for incorporating climate-related information into courses beyond natural and environmental sciences. We seek feedback from the CLEAN community because we regularly update the website with new information and suggestions from climate and education professionals, as well as website users, who are encouraged to email us at climate@smith.edu.

Abstract: The Solve Climate Project at the Bard Center for Environmental Policy is the lead organizer for a global dialog on climate solutions which will take place in April, 2021. The avenue is more than 100 university-hosted webinars in 45 countries, including almost all 50 US states. Building on the lessons learned from this initiative, and the evident interest among climate-concerned faculty and staff across the world, we are now beginning to organize a worldwide teach-in on climate and justice set for March 30, 2022. The goal is involvement by at least 1000 colleges, universities, high schools, and faith and civic organizations and 500,000 participants. As universities return to in-person education, the key question becomes how to engage beyond the usual climate-concerned students to involve a broad spectrum of students. The Worldwide Teach-In does so by involving at least twenty-four faculty members at each institution in an evening of concurrent panels. Climate change by its nature invites dialog from faculty across the disciplines: artists and philosophers, economists and chemists, psychologists and business professors. Each of the four faculty on the various panels are asked to talk for only five minutes on their topic, so they don't need deep expertise-- faculty introduce the ideas and leave lots of time for discussion. And again, on every campus in the world there are easily two dozen climate-concerned, often non-expert faculty who will be glad to participate in such an event. A typical event with 24 faculty members, all requiring or encouraging their students to attend, will bring in 500 people. The underlying hypothesis is that "coordinated climate education" across and within institutions is the most effective way to engage the broadest audience in substantive discussions of climate solutions.

Abstract: The grid faces many challenges that will require a diverse and innovative workforce as more renewables come online and as climate change increasingly threatens electric infrastructure and the communities that rely on electricity. The NC Energy Literacy Fellows Program is a year-long professional development experience for grades 8-12 STEM teachers that combines hands-on and minds-on energy investigations with place-based explorations of electrical generation facilities to build educator knowledge of the evolving electric grid, emerging technologies, and careers as a strategy to authentically engage students in learning about renewable energy and prepare them for careers in the energy sector. Learning about the knowledge and skills needed to support a low-carbon economy and modernize the electric grid enables teachers to explore numerous curriculum connections and update their energy instruction with relevant and engaging content. Results from longitudinal program evaluation of the 2017-2019 cohorts reveal that visiting facilities and interacting with staff are significant learning experiences that ultimately enhance classroom discourse and increase student engagement during energy instruction.

Dana Brown Haine, MS, is the K-12 Science Education Manager for the Center for Public Engagement with Science at the UNC-Chapel Hill Institute for the Environment.

Abstract: In this presentation Eliza Reilly will introduce the national STEM education initiative Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities (SENCER). Since 2001 SENCER has supported faculty and informal educators who aim to improve student learning and civic capacity by linking STEM content to unsolved civic and social challenges of immediate relevance to students and their communities. SENCER courses developed by faculty at over 500 institutions teach biology through COVID, HIV and other infectious diseases, Chemistry through energy use or water quality, Computer Science through cybersecurity and algorithm bias, Math through voting and demography, for a few examples.  Now faculty are energized to teach content all of these disciplines through climate change. Prof. Sonya Doucette will follow by describing how Bellevue College has used SENCER strategies to advance justice centered and civically engaged science teaching through a focus on embedding climate science and climate justice across the curriculum.

Eliza Jane Reilly is the Executive Director of the National Center for Science and Civic Engagement (ncsce.net).  She has two decades of experience in the design and implementation of programs and materials to advance curriculum, academic leadership and faculty development that improves student learning and builds civic capacity. She has been an ongoing participant in SENCER and the NCSCE's formal and informal education programs since 2001 and currently serves as the General Editor of the SENCER Models and co-Editor of the journal Science Education and Civic Engagement: An International Journal. Since 2015 she has held an appointment as a Research Professor in the Department of Technology and Society at Stony Brook University and is currently a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Learning Innovation. In 2018 Eliza was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her contributions to science education and civic engagement.

Sonya Doucette is the Program Co-Chair for Earth and Space Sciences at Bellevue College in Washington State.  She strives to incorporate field work, and analytical techniques and instrumentation, into her courses through research projects so that students may experience "science in action." Some recent projects include carbon cycling in wetlands (North Seattle CC), nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in urban lakes (UW, Tacoma), and heavy metal contamination of urban soils and sediments (ASU and Hope House Farms in Phoenix). At BC, she co-developed a new course (CHEM 272) in which students have carried out research projects on topics such as the effect of pesticides on bees, micro-scale Puget Sound air pollution, and desalinization using forward osmosis. She is the coordinator for a new Sustainability Concentration and recently received an NSF grant to support the goal of incorporating climate science and climate justice throughout the BC curriculum.

Abstract: As climate impacts become more obvious across North America, some communities are preparing adaptation and resiliency plans. This session asks, who is educating people for action.  As climate educators, are we at the table when municipal planning takes place? Should we be?  Where is the need for education in public participation efforts to address climate change? Where is there room for cooperation and collaboration across professions?  The need to scale up community action for climate change is critical.  Can we break down silos to speed the process?
