Climate + Imperialism, Decolonization, Globalization, Urbanization, and Empires

Angela Lee

Hi everyone!

I teach AP World, and tagged part of the Climate Project at the end of the year since I have 3 weeks left after the exam (and this year I'll have 4 since the exam is a week earlier).

I would love to incorporate more opportunities to ramp up to the Climate Project at the end of the year, and I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts about where climate topics can be incorporated throughout the year instead of just dropping it onto them.  Industrial Revolution is the obvious one - are there any other periods of history where we could highlight this?

Thanks for your thoughts!

  • I think also incorporating climate topics in imperialism, the world wars, particularly in the second with the development of atomic weapons, and in decolonialisation are great places to tease those conversations with students for your end of year unit. A lot of this with deal with a acceleration of human impact on the environment over time and it's uneven consequences for various populations.

    I hadn't thought about including it in the unit on Imperialism and decolonization, especially with the shift of colonial powers to cash cropping and the devastating affects that had on land - yes, I could highlight that better in this upcoming year!  Thanks!
