Climate Change, Migration & Development
This course explores a range of contemporary debates around climate change, migration, and development. Focusing primarily on the global south, we will engage climate as both an emerging process of ecological transformation and as a politics that is reconfiguring the ways that international development is carried out and the ways that states manage and prepare for population movement. Students will explore policy and critical perspectives on resilience, adaptation, mitigation, climate governance, vulnerability, climate security, and mobility. The course readings will focus on emerging theoretical debates, case-analyses, and the lived experiences of ecological transformation, development, and migration.
