In addition to teaching my own class within the Department of Environmental Studies and Sciences (ENVS), I serve as a guest speaker across campus. My position thus offers me an extraordinary view of the Ithaca College curriculum.
Each year, I lecture in 10 to 20 classes. Indeed, I may be the only faculty at Ithaca College who has taught or co-hosted programming in all five of our schools.
What does climate change have to do with human performance? Well, higher heat and humidity represent health threats to outdoor athletes.
In California, three-quarters of new oil wells are drilled in Black or Latino communities. To understand the permitting of fossil fuel infrastructure, one needs to understand systemic racism.
Women and gender studies shows us that domestic violence and sex trafficking accompany oil and gas fracking.
And music? Ask me about the wood used to make Stradivarius violins. It’s sourced from forests now being decimated by extreme weather patterns in Italy.
Because climate is connected to everything we love, it is also connected to all the classes we teach.

Wow she sounds insufferable. Classic woke SJW. No joy in life. Just looking to see if somehow, somewhere, someone was “oppressed”.
"The good news: after a year of planning and writing, I got the grant.The bad news: both faculty co-chairs of the Climate Action Group are now among those losing their jobs as a consequence of Academic Program Prioritization, which, as far as I can see, is disaster capitalism for higher education.
All told, at least nine IC professors who teach some aspect of the climate crisis — in five different departments — are on the chopping block, with Recreation and Leisure Studies disappearing altogether."
BWAHAHA.
"I’ll be leaving Ithaca College at the end of this year. I am sorry. I wanted to build a thriving Center for Climate Justice here, but I’m demoralized and aware that the collective intellectual capacity I was counting on is being sacrificed to austerity.Finally, and because I believe in transparency: my salary is $31,050."
BWHWHWWAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Hyperbolic bargain basement histrionics.
/save the whales! collect the whole set!
Lol
Nice point
Works for SJWs
Do you think she believes that crap?
Such women are the ruination of America. They should not be tolerated.
I like her like Bill Clinton. I like anybody who makes me laugh.
Hope she’s going to Venezuela.
Her cats won’t last long there, though.
Ithaca College to cut 116 positions, 3 departments, 17 undergrad programs
City of Evil Bump
Anyone who spends full time worrying about Climate Justice isn’t worth $31,050 a year, oranything.
ML/NJ
Ithaca is the City of Evil.
Stradivarius violins? When did Stradivarius put together the last one?
Here comes the Climate Control Corps.
Imagine the chapter that illustrates the futility of the Green New Deal when it notes:
"America could cease to exist, produce ZERO emissions, and the current lack of constraints on China and India, would result in a continued increase of Global CO2."

Wut?
A “Studies” Dept. dies a financial death?
Oh, bull crap. New oil wells are drilled where the oil is, you twit.
