"On Jan. 28, the nexus of art, sustainability, reflection and thoughtful action will take center stage in " Teaching About Climate Change: Art, Action and Reflection," a Cornell faculty panel, teaching workshop and museum exhibit tour exploring how instructors can engage the humanities, climate change and community in their teaching.Hosted by the Center for Teaching Innovation and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art,"
"Cornell faculty panelists include Anna Margaret Davidson, lecturer and senior research associate in the Natural Resources and the Environment Section in the Ashley School of Global Development and the Environment within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. A scientist and an artist whose work engages climate breakdown, ecological memory, and environmental justice and destruction, Davidson will explore teaching ecological arts courses to undergraduate students in the context of a dramatically changing planet."
"Caroline Levine, the David and Kathleen Ryan Professor of Humanities in the Department of Literatures in English in the College of Arts & Sciences (A&S) and the author of The Activist Humanist: Form and Method in the Climate Crisis, will present on the question of whether awareness leads to climate action, and how the arts can play a role in spurring people to take meaningful action."
"Kelly Presutti, assistant professor in the Department of History of Art and Visual Studies (A&S), will question art's purpose in the context of climate change. Presutti's first book, Land into Landscape: Art, Environment, and the Making of Modern France, examines how state power, local populations and the environment are negotiated and contested through four types of landscapes: forests, mountains, wetlands, and coasts."
A workshop and museum tour on Jan. 28 will focus on integrating art, sustainability, reflection and action into climate-change teaching. The event will run 1–3:30 p.m. in the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art’s Robinson Lecture Hall and is free for Cornell faculty and graduate students. Panelists include Anna Margaret Davidson, who will explore teaching ecological arts courses amid climate breakdown; Caroline Levine, who will address whether awareness leads to climate action and how the arts can spur meaningful action; and Kelly Presutti, who will question art’s purpose in the context of climate change and landscape studies.
