Environmental Humanities Colloquium: “The Great Uprooting: Migration and Movement in the Age of Climate Change”

Indian writer Amitav Ghosh will present “The Great Uprooting: Migration and Movement in the Age of Climate Change,” at 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 18, in 100 Arthur Lewis Auditorium, Robertson Hall. This event will be held in-person ONLY and is open to PUID holders — register in advance to attend.

Ghosh, author of “The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable” (2016), will attempt to identify the underlying patterns in stories he gathered in 2017 from migrants in Italian migrant camps in order to look at the European ‘migrant crisis’ of recent years through the prism of large-scale population displacements and mass migration caused by climate change.

Ghosh is the third speaker in the spring 2022 Environmental Humanities and Social Transformation Colloquium sponsored by HMEI.

This event is organized by the Program in South Asian Studies with co-sponsorship by the HMEI Environmental Humanities and Social Transformation Colloquium, the M.S.
