Join ESPM 98: Climate Change in Media! (Course #28915)

Thursdays from 5:00 - 6:30 pm

This course focuses on how climate change is framed to the public. As the threat of climate change increases daily, we must analyze how climate change is framed, because the media can convince people of almost anything. This class is going to analyze how climate change is portrayed through various forms of media, including writing, documentaries, news outlets, and our daily surroundings. We will particularly be focusing on the concept of environmental justice when examining all these sources. In order to properly address climate change, we must build a framework that not only protects our planet but also ensures that the burdens and benefits of a sustainable future are shared equitably among all communities, leaving no one behind. The course is open to students from all disciplines, backgrounds, and lived experiences to contribute to a diverse, engaging, and enriching classroom environment. 

The Global Entrepreneurship and Innovation (GEI) in Europe program is Berkeley’s largest study abroad experience, and it’s back this summer in Porto, Portugal.

Students will choose between two transformative tracks:

Startup Track: Launch and scale a tech startup in just 15 days.

Consulting Track: Solve real-world challenges for Porto alongside Silicon Valley professionals.

All participants earn the prestigious SCET Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Technology.

CRJW VISION UNITING CHILDREN, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES SEPARATED BY INCARCERATION 

The Center for Restorative Justice Works unites children, families, and communities separated and impacted by crime and the criminal justice system. Get On the Bus unites children with their mothers and fathers in prison. This statewide prison visiting program trains and educates hundreds of volunteers and supporters throughout California and engages the media to raise awareness about the plight of children with a parent in prison. 

CRJW MISSION (CRJW) re-weaves the web of relationships that have been torn apart by crime and the policies of the criminal justice system. CRJW serves as a conduit to assist and accompany children, families, and communities in crossing over the barriers that separate them from people in prison. In doing so, CRJW restores relationships and creates public awareness in order to bring about radical transformation of the criminal justice system.
