Appendix 4: Other resources
Other Resources
Another fantastic resource is the Artists & Climate Change initiative, which has a public archive of arts & humanities syllabi themed around environmental topics. It can be found here: https://artistsandclimatechange.com/university-courses-on-the-arts-and-climate-change/
The Department of Performing and Media Arts at Cornell University has a digital archive documenting their Climate Plays project, a multi-year series of devised community-based plays on the impact of climate change on the Finger Lakes: https://climateplays.com/
