Climate Crisis & the Uncanny Political Economy

Seminar Enrichment Series

Then he challenges writers and readers alike to view today’s ecological crises through this unsettling lens. But what are the political and economic implications of his call to action? Join faculty and student facilitators for a cross-disciplinary community discussion of the urgent questions Ghosh raises.
