The comparative perspective is very useful and effective for raising awareness in the classroom. Getting the students out of North America and exposing them to the vibrant policy developments in Europe and Asia, for instance, would be particularly suitable in this time period.

Just to say, your request is not US centric, we are all engaged and concerned and stand with you (just back from a protest at Schiphol airport relating to immigration, where police pushed us out but we had our say ?) On environment, certainly global ramifications... Here's to fighting the good fight, inside and outside the classroom!

For many of us in the US, this is a very difficult time. Our country is being riven in two. The implications of a Trump presidency for the environment look bleak, to say the least. I feel that it's critical to discuss this in the classroom, but would welcome some suggestions for how. Right now, my tack has pretty much been: local leadership is still possible! But this feels unsatisfactory, and quite frankly, dishonest. If any of you have suggestions for structuring discussions about the new administration vis-a-vis the environment (or just more generally), I would be very grateful. I am, of course, happy to compile and distribute if anyone is interested. Many thanks in advance.
