More 'cli-fi' in the college classroom: Great (and and not-so-great) climate doomsday stories

More 'cli-fi' in the college classroom: Great (and and not-so-great) climate doomsday stories - The College Fix:
It seems my article from last Saturday about the use of “cli-fi” — climate fiction — stories in various college courses attracted a bit of attention.
...The University of Winnepeg’s Heather Snell’s course description for a class which includes cli-fi is another example:
We study various theoretical and critical strategies for reading YA [Young Adult] texts, including feminist, queer, transgender, postmodern, posthuman, postcolonial, critical race, cli-fi and ecocritical; 
cultural assumptions about children and childhood; trends in educational theory and practice; 
the economic and political contexts of the production, consumption and marketing of YA texts for young adults; and popular culture and media for young adults."
