Butler, Kathy Jetil-Kijiner, and Margaret Atwood have explored climate change through literature, reflecting current anxieties about humans' impact on the planet. Emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinarity, this volume embraces literature as a means to cultivate students' understanding of the ongoing climate crisis, ethics in times of disaster, and the intrinsic intersectionality of environmental issues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors discuss speculative climate futures, the Anthropocene, postcolonialism, climate anxiety, and the usefulness of storytelling in engaging with catastrophe. The essays offer approaches to teaching interdisciplinary and cross-listed courses, including strategies for team-teaching across disciplines and for building connections between humanities majors and STEM majors. The volume concludes with essays that explore ways to address grief and to contemplate a hopeful future in the face of apocalyptic predictions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains discussions of Margaret Atwood's \u003cem\u003eOryx and Crake\u003c\/em\u003e and\u003cem\u003e Year of the Flood\u003c\/em\u003e, Paulo Bacigalupi's \"Pocketful of Dharma,\" Chantal Bilodeau's \u003cem\u003eSila\u003c\/em\u003e, Octavia E.
