About this Event

A book talk of new climate ethnographies, works that analyse the impacts of climate change in cultures and societies globally. Five presenters will talk about their recently published or soon to be published work. Subjects include melting glaciers in the Peruvian Andes, water infrastructure and drought in South Africa, climate litigation, the relationship between religion and climate change in the US and Europe, and erosion and migration in coastal India. Each presenter will discuss their work, and then there will be a Q&A from the audience. The event will be hybrid, with presenters appearing in person and remotely.
