Human/Nature: An Exploration of Place, Story, and Climate Futurism is a summer institute on climate futurism, or imagining alternative futures for life on our planet through literature and scientific inquiry. A journey starting with Octavia E. Butler's sci-fi classic, Parable of the Sower, and young adult literature with teen protagonists. Human/Nature is a combined format, 3-week summer institute for 25 English teachers of grades 6-12 featuring interdisciplinary fieldwork, digital media literacy, and multimodality. Participants spend two weeks at Sonoma State University and will attend five virtual meetings before and after the institute to cultivate curricular action plans.
