Before students reach the college level, they have some exposure to the Transcendentalist Movement through the literature of Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne.

WKS 458A: Climate Change:Causes and Consequences
3.00 Credits
Antioch University-Midwest (Closed)
This workshop will critically investigate the scientific basis for the claims being currently made that the earth's mean temperatures are rising, and that these rising temperatures have led to climatic changes globally. We will also investigate the claims that causal links can be drawn between the increases in Greenhouse Gases, mainly attributable to the burning of fossil fuels, and climatic changes. Finally, we will examine the likely consequences that purported climatic changes will bring - in particular by focusing on glacial melting, rising sea levels, and catastrophic weather events. We will conclude by addressing what any of this may mean for how we, our children, and our grandchildren will conduct our lives.
