There’s an old saying that if you want to change the world, you need to know which levers to pull. In this course, we’ll consider some of those levers, especially those that lie within ourselves. We’ll use research in the interdisciplinary field of moral psychology to explore the philosophic and ethical facets of climate change, and aim for a better understanding of what exactly it is about the climate crisis that makes it so difficult for us to grasp and effectively act on.
