Hi Shannon, Regarding climate anxiety, I used this piece to consider a view on the topic that got my students thinking more critically about the idea:
"Climate Anxiety Is an Overwhelmingly White Phenomenon -- Is it really just code for white people wishing to hold onto their way of life or to get "back to normal?"" https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-unbearable-whiteness-of-climate-anxiety/.<https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-unbearable-whiteness-of-climate-anxiety/> Best, Shannon -- Shannon O'Lear, Ph.D. (she/her<https://diversity.ku.edu/pronoun-guide>) Director Environmental Studies Program Professor Department of Geography & Atmos.

To that end, we have already conducted a literature review on eco-anxiety research and surveyed books related to the issue and I'm currently working with a team to collect survey data from students on their experiences with eco-anxiety. In order to take effective next steps, I'm now looking for practical applications for approaching these topics (which have been harder to come by), so I wanted to ask if any colleagues have instructional resources (i.e., sample syllabi, in-class exercises or assignments, best practices for eco-anxiety education, etc.) you might share? Thank you for your time!
