A new Earth conversation is a transformative
climate initiative at Clark University

We have, as a planet, entered a time of profound reckoning.

Given the gravity and uncertainty of our situation,
the work of higher education must change.

A new Earth conversation

is our response to the challenge of these times.

Through a collective process of inquiry, listening and discernment,
new kinds of awareness, engagement and effective action become possible.

A new Earth conversation brochure

How do we educate in a time of increasing uncertainty, instability and injustice? Given what we know, how do we best serve now, and for the future? A new Earth conversation is a response to these questions. The campus-wide climate initiative at Clark University was envisioned as a vital and empowering path through a Clark education, and a timely model for other institutions of higher education. This booklet, published in 2020, outlines NEC’s core practices and shares voices from Clark faculty and students.
