Description
Zines, independently published short-form works, have long been a tool for democratizing information that is censored, difficult to access, or taboo.
This project will fund the creation and publishing of the first series of NYC Climate Zines in collaboration with students in Nathan Lessen's course Climate Impacts on Humans in New York City
The zines will be distributed freely throughout the city, archived with zine libraries and catalogued online.
Funds survey research to understand whether the public punishes leaders for reneging on their self-determined emissions reductions targets.
The study will consider how marginalized communities may be able to mobilize politically to press for greater compliance with these emissions reduction targets.
The project will culminate with a virtual workshop for students and scholars focused on climate cooperation and justice.
