The Nutmegs Curse by Robert Mc Farlane

3min

This is a conversation with Alyssa Hull who splits her time between teaching high school biology and environmental science and writing speculative fiction.

We spoke about what it's like to talk to high school students about climate change, the role of fiction like Solarpunk and how to improve climate communication. The article she wrote that we reference is called 'Hopepunk and Solarpunk: On Climate Narratives That Go Beyond the Apocalypse' for LitHub.
