Teaching Sustainability in American Studies
Teaching American Studies Network (TASN/GREEN BAAS) Online Event
Friday 27 February, 1.00–2.00pm (UK time) | Register here

How can we meaningfully integrate discussion of sustainability and the environment into the teaching of American Studies?

This online event will explore practical, pedagogical, and disciplinary approaches to teaching sustainability in American Studies, drawing on the recently released Green BAAS: Environmental Teaching Audit 2025. We will consider:

  • How sustainability is currently being taught in American Studies
  • What works (and what doesn’t) in different institutional and curricular contexts
  • Strategies for embedding environmental perspectives into existing modules and across the curriculum

A panel discussion will be followed by discussion and A&A, offering space to share ideas, challenges, and examples, and to build connections across Green BAAS and the Teaching American Studies Network.

Panellists: Elsa Devienne (Northumbria and GREEN BAAS co-lead), Stephanie Palmer (Nottingham Trent), Dave McLaughlin (UEA), Rachel Hermann (Cardiff).

Chair: Frankie Hines (Birmingham Newman University)
