Singh, V. (2023). Teaching climate change: Science, stories, justice. Taylor & Francis.
Stories, and Justice is authored by Vandana Singh and is part of a series dedicated to exploring best practices in environmental studies research and teaching.Singh, a Professor of Physics and Environment, draws on her work of over a decade in climate change education, which focuses on a transdisciplinary, justice-centered approach to climate change education, particularly emphasizing marginalized communities in India and the United States.There is something remarkable about Singh's latest work.In a field crowded with wellmeaning academic texts, her 2023 Routledge publication stands apart.She has managed to make climate change education interesting, understandable, and accessible.She starts by capturing our imagination with a story, which is the sign of all great educators; she involves us, intrigues us, and leaves us wanting to know what and why.Singh builds her framework around three key ideas: Balance and Imbalance, Critical Thresholds, and Complex Interconnections.These practical tools help us make sense of the science of climate change while at the same time introducing the broader social and philosophical context of the climate crisis.Singh weaves theory and practice, drawing from real classroom experiences that show these concepts in action.
