Abstract
How do you teach about crises amid crisis? This article and accompanying zine reflect on my preparation for and delivery of an undergraduate seminar about the intersecting environmental, social and political crises that are frequently bundled together under the term ‘the Anthropocene’. Our course was designed and taught amid the COVID-19 global pandemic. Through readings, guest lectures and a digital humanities writing project, my students and I worked to take a desire-based rather than damage-centred approach to receiving and telling stories about the lost futures we are living through and the lost futures to come.
