Bushfire smoke visible from the dashboard of my fossil-fuelled car, as I drove the 850km from my parents’ house in Bendigo to Sydney, on 5 January, after my summer holiday. The smoke was this thick for almost the entirety of that trip, as it had been when I made the original trip south on December 22.

Learning to Live with Climate Change explores the cultural, interpersonal and sociological dimensions of ecological distress. The book engages with Australia’s 2019/2020 ‘Black Summer’ of bushfires and smoke, undergraduate students’ experiences of climate change, and contemporary activist movements such as the youth strikes for climate. Verlie outlines how we can collectively attune to, live with, and respond to the unsettling realities of climate collapse while counteracting domineering ideals of ‘climate control.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60935b922d240436fef649ce/63a339ed-882c-4d5b-a5cc-96bae89abf36/blanche+bio+pic+2022+crop.jpg Home - Dr. Blanche Verlie is an Australian climate change educator and researcher currently living on unceded Gadigal Country.
