Confronting Racism and Colonialism in Geoscience Education through a Historical Lens: Integrating Critical Pedagogy in Earth Sciences Curricula
Using a college-level biogeography course as a case study, we draw from critical engaged pedagogy and antiracist scholarship to interrogate biases in the processes and forms of knowledge production, legitimization, and exclusion; the source of inequities in scholar representation and professional advancement in the discipline; and how societal benefits and harms of research practices are felt disproportionately by different groups and in different places (locally, regionally, globally).

Jennifer Sliko: Using Cli-Fi in Planet Earth at Pennsylvania State University - Harrisburg
Planet Earth is an introductory course about Earth, with emphasis on the processes the affect the landscape of Earth. Students learn about fundamental geologic processes and how they impact humans and the environment on regional and global scales. Some of these processes are slow, such as the movements of continents, and change Earth over a period of millions of years. Others are rapid, such as earthquakes and floods. Students learn how these processes are related and interact with each other.
