The everyday of living a life altered by climate change is a tremendous amount of work, especially in vulnerable communities that had little to do with causing it. Dr. Raka Sen, a sociologist from Arizona State University, will utilize her work on the Sundarban region of India and Bangladesh to discuss what the additional labor due to climate change looks like on the ground and how these changes are accumulating to larger societal and structural changes. This talk will get us thinking about issues of global environmental justice and how we can imagine a more just climate future.
