Walker, Jude – New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, 2023
Climate change denial is often rooted in an array of conspiracy theories with climate change itself viewed by some as the real conspiracy. While not all of us are climate change conspiracy theorists, it is upsetting for most of us to learn and accept that our climate is changing, that it is primarily human-caused, and that it is harming people,…

Teaching and learning in times of crisis like the Coronavirus pandemic is less about crisis management and more about humanizing the crisis.
