A Farewell to Ithaca College after 18 years
The Ithacan ^ | March 3, 2021 | Sandra Steingraber

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.

She couldn’t have picked a better example of Stradivarius to illustrate climate change.

There are many articles on the internet explaining that the unusually rich sounds created by his instruments are a result of the higher density wood that trees produced during the little ice age.

she makes 31K a year to teach 10 to 20 classes a year. Not courses, CLASSES.

That works out to 1500 to 3K PER CLASS!

she is a educrat welfare queen.

Have a good week.
