Activism, Religious Studies, and Embodied Teaching in an Era of Rapid Climate Changes

[Article]

This article presents 29 theses, in the lineage of Bruce Lincoln's theses on method, to help those teaching religion and nature navigate what it is to do such teaching in the context of the Anthropocene and global warming. With these in place it provides a dialogue between the educational theories of Paulo Freire and Jonathan "JZ" Smith. This dialogue helps to reflect upon the role of activism in the religion and nature classroom, given the 29 theses. A critique of higher education's inability to quickly adapt to new planetary biogeochemical baselines is the container within which the dialogue and theses are articulated.
