This grant will support a combined format, virtual and in-person, 3-week NEH summer institute for 25 secondary English teachers from across the country. The institute will be held for 2 weeks on SSU's campus and includes field trips to various locations in Northern California. Participants will learn alongside literary scholars, teacher-artists, naturalists, and media literacy scholars. The institute will guide participants through an in-depth inquiry into the human/nature dichotomy and connections through climate futurism.
