Movement is the thread that brings all of Sunil Amrith’s work together. Pull this thread and untangle a paradigm-shifting global history as we discuss an exploration of the reciprocal interplay between human actions and the Earth's environment. A Yale University historian and dedicated teacher, Amrith, has a talent for making historical research subtitble to a curious but busy audience. Amrith's groundbreaking work weaves together science, history, and culture to provide a fresh perspective on our current climate crisis and reveal the reality of migration as a consequence of environmental harm. Don't miss this thought-provoking event to ignite your understanding of the climate crisis’ pivotal role in human history and displacement.
