The climate crisis entails devastating changes for non-human and human life forms alike. This also has epistemological consequences since it places humans in a situation of fundamental uncertainty. Dealing with global risks grows increasingly difficult, and is a core issue in sustainable development (Goldin and Mariathasan 212). This constitutes a challenge to teachers of literature: how are we to choose texts and methods that help students deal with such complexity? I aim to answer this by empirically investigating the collaborative meaning-making of one group of student teachers discussing poetry. A central motivation for this study is the Norwegian school curricula. Revised in 2020, the curricula include “sustainability” as one of three interdisciplinary topics to be covered in all subjects.1 The student teachers in this study specialize in language and literature to teach at grade levels 1—10 in the Norwegian public school system. While reading, writing, and other forms of literary and linguistic competence are central to L1 teachers, they are now arguably also teachers of sustainable development. The guiding research question for this study is thus: what can subject-specific Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in literature education look like? Empirical research on classroom teaching can provide a nuanced view of this. While couched in a Norwegian context, the findings of this study will be relevant to teachers of literature elsewhere seeking to integrate sustainability in their classrooms.

The planetary ecological crisis has reached a magnitude beyond human comprehension. The acceleration of denuded ecological patterns and the lack of a sensitive, mutual relational sustenance between the personal and planetary remain pressing issues that demand immediate attention. While the emergent field of environmental humanities calls for a reimagining of alternative ecological futures, numerous impacted, but prolific voices still remain muffled in discussions of these critical global ecological issues. Chitra Sankaran’s Women, Subalterns, and Ecologies in South and Southeast Asian Women’s Fiction focuses on the diverse voices of South and Southeast Asian Women’s ecological fiction. A groundbreaking book, by and on women (and subalterns), Sankaran’s study compellingly foregrounds a powerful range of sociocultural connections between humans and nature. The book presents a vibrant corpus of more than thirty econarratives by women writers from twelve countries. Sankaran’s field-defining book provides a nuanced understanding of the ecofeminist consciousness of two significant regions of Asia.

Tom Tyler’s accessible essay collection, Game: Animals, Video Games, and Humanity, offers scholars from various fields plenty to chew on while eschewing the conventions of a traditional academic monograph. In a ludic yet lucid fashion, Tyler engages readers in “some of the complex and often contradictory ways in which players of video games have been invited to encounter, understand, and engage animals” (3). Tyler does not aim to be comprehensive across his thirteen pieces, but rather offers a sampler of playful possibilities through a multidisciplinary and often multisensory approach (see, notably, the nose-driven “How Does a Dog Smell?”). The keyword Tyler builds his work upon is, of course, “game”—first defined through its meanings as “amusement … jests and jokes” and “an activity played for entertainment …”—then through its association with “hunting … [and] the wild beasts who were the hunter’s quarry” (2–3). Throughout Game, Tyler attends to semantics and etymological curiosities, and lets the paths of different words guide him to numerous ruminations (see, naturally, “Enumerating Ruminants”).
