Ok #academic twitter has anyone seen or done any comparisons between the Dust Bowl's "black blizzards" that reached the east coast and todays wildfire smoke? #envirocrisis #climatecrisis #wildfires #enviromentalhistory 2/4 I can't help seeing connections between the Dust Bowl and today's wildfires. Both can be viewed as climate events, both, in many ways, human caused with environmental causes and mis-management of resources, use of land, etc.

Wondering how to help students understand the long & central history of violence against Black Americans in US history? See an example of how they can explore, analyze and process this critical theme with digital timeline software. notevenpast.org/violence-again…

Last spring, I had students in my global environmental history class create new units for the crowd sourced RHS syllabus on climate change. Excellent examples of collaborative, public facing work! radicalhopesyllabus.com/category/blog/… @ProfJohnBarry @CarsonCenter #climatechange
