Using rigorous scholarship and critical thinking to challenge false narratives about climate change, following Sor Juana's model of fearless intellectual inquiry.
Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz exemplified intellectual courage in defending knowledge against institutional pressure. Applied to climate justice, this means developing rigorous scholarship that counters denial and misinformation with irrefutable evidence. Her commitment to questioning authority through reason becomes a framework for climate activists and scientists who must defend scientific consensus against powerful economic interests. This concept recognizes that climate denial is fundamentally an intellectual problem requiring intellectual solutions—peer-reviewed research, philosophical argumentation, and educational campaigns that mirror Sor Juana's own methodical defense of women's right to knowledge. In global responsibility contexts, this means positioning climate literacy as a form of justice work, where education itself becomes resistance to manufactured doubt.
