Thanks Erika✨

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the lesson, Atharv!

This is awesome, actually. A publicly available style guide to help the masses more effectively engage in psy-ops. This idea would fit perfectly in a cyberpunk story and it helps prime the audience for solarpunk ideas... it's so meta

Ha! We wouldn't exactly frame it in this way Stevie-J, but we do agree that the time is ripe for bringing the liberal arts (and in particular literary studies) into the climate conversation as we work to address the planetary crisis in which we find ourselves. Here's hoping we can all start imagining and telling better stories about how to get out of the mess we have made.

If you enjoyed this video, please give us a like, drop us a question about cli-fi, or let us know if your experiences with cli-fi protagonists match the model outlined here. Thanks for watching, everybody!

Can she read any faster or with less meaning? There's more to life than increasing the speed. Please, slow down! I can't believe she believes what she says, only that she can speed read without mistakes. All I got from this was something about the Hunger Games!

Thanks for the comment, @user-hl8yk6ey5k. All of our videos contain subtitles, so if things so to fast here, you're welcome to turn them on. We want this channel to provide learning opportunities for all of us--viewers and presenters alike. We aren't perfect, but we're trying, and we are incredibly proud of our brave faculty and students who step in front of the camera to share their love of literature with the world.
