We will develop a literary approach to climate change by examining varied cli-fi stories, in genres that include post-apocalypse, fantasy, fairy tales, science fiction, and utopia/ solarpunk.

We will consider the possibilities of imagination, including in terms of escapism, solace, critical thinking, and the invention of worlds with different climates.
