About Paper:

Scholarly discourse concerning climate change mitigation has largely been dominated by the scientific community. Scholarly contributions to this discussion need not be limited to those disciplines, and when it is assumed that scientists have the most to say, we fail to recognize that such complex problems as our changing climate benefit from diverse disciplinary contributions, including those from literary scholarship. This project seeks to test a hypothesis that English literary studies have a place in a holistic approach in combating the impacts of climate change. By using secondary scholarly texts, popular texts, and interviews, my project will investigate how literary scholars are using their analytic and rhetorical skills to extract insights and even promising mitigation for the effects of climate change through various works of fiction and nonfiction. By collecting and presenting an overview of the current discussion and work being done by literary scholars, this project hopes to show that this discipline is actively contributing to the fight against climate change.   Zebrafish Models of Primary Microcephaly and Microcephalic Osteodysplastic Primordial Dwarfism Type II Justin Dinh
