Inexplicable interruptions can fill us with terror, but they also tear open a space for thinking, and for thinking otherwise. While we want to believe that our tools are adequate to our tasks and our paradigms can withstand any anomaly, chasms to the contrary are opening constantly.

In Climate Change Interrupted, Barbara Leckie shows how interruptions can challenge our means of communication, expression and representation, and help us meet the moment in which we actually live.

Barbara Leckie is a professor in the Department of English at Carleton University in Ottawa, cross-appointed with the Institute for the Comparative Study of Literature, Art, and Culture (ICSLAC). She is also Academic Director, Re.Climate: Centre for Climate Communication and Engagement. Her 2022 book is Climate Change Interrupted: Representation and the Remaking of Time.
