Episode 13: Responding to Hurricanes and Natural Disasters in the Classroom

THE END IS NEAR! Wait, no, it's just the thirteenth episode of Literaturely! We are joined in this episode by Emilie Mears, an expert in eco-lit, to discuss the apocalypse. Or rather, to discuss literary works and natural disasters! This is a fun conversation jam-packed with considerations of what constitutes a disaster, examinations of apocalypse, creative assignments, and more. We chat about why we'd want to teach narratives about natural disasters, what we hope our students learn, and the ethics in environmental studies. What's the line between the natural, the unnatural, and the supernatural when investigating eco-lit? We'd love to hear your thoughts, comments, and questions!
