Asking Different Questions in Climate Science. Impacts, Mitigation, and Adaptation

Agency: National Science Foundation to the Feminist Research Insitute

Duration: 9/1/2021-8/31/2024

PI: Sarah Mccullough

Project co-PI: Kyaw Tha Paw U

Project description

Asking Different Questions in Climate Change Science, Impact, Mitigation and Adaptation examines how integrating cultural and social literacies into research training for climate and environmental scientists can produce more ethical, effective, and relevant research. The project will test the hypothesis that training in understanding the relationship between environmental change and culture will produce scholars capable of engaging in research that addresses the disproportionate environmental impact on vulnerable and historically marginalized communities.
