The climate crisis is a growing concern for many people, especially those who are of college age, making it an important and pressing issue to explore in honors courses. Eco-Art: Using Art to Reconcile with the Climate Crisis, a University of New Mexico (UNM) Honors College course, integrates the disciplines of art and environmental justice to examine climate change and address the social and emotional toll of climate grief. The class was co-created and team taught by Associate Professor Megan Jacobs and UNM undergraduate honors and environmental science student Kineo Memmer. This article unpacks the methodologies and lessons learned from this intergenerational team-teaching experience. The class forged community partnerships and created short documentary films highlighting climate activism in New Mexico as well as creative works on climate grief. Using an egalitarian instruction model, the instructors found common ground between their respective disciplines to develop projects and cull readings, which they outline in detail. This type of collaboration is key in the climate movement, as intersectional ways of problem-solving are necessary to combat the climate crisis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
