For 15 years, I’ve collaborated with colleagues at SJSU on an interdisciplinary, team-taught course on global climate change integrating climate science with policymaking, public communication strategies and principles of climate justice. Students study climate science, climate policy and socio-economic and cultural implications of a changing climate.
