5 weekly sessions on Thursdays 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm, starting 7 May

Climate change is a politically charged topic and climate change literature (cli-fi) offers another means of exploring the issue and society’s response to it. This course will consider the underlying science and how different cli-fi authors have sought to illuminate issues and entertain readers. The sessions will cover climate change in prehistory, in our time, in the future, as well as issues of culpability for climate change and action to address climate change. Each two-hour session will start by considering an aspect of climate science and will then look at extracts from two works of cli-fi focusing on that aspect. The course will involve discussions and developing participants' own responses to key climate change talking points.

This class will take place on QUB campus
