[Sehefac] SEHE Minor Idea

[Bronwyn Leebaw]

Love it!! Climate migration questions have opened up very novel
interdisciplinary debates re refugee law, humanitarian intervention,
democratic accountability, carbon reparations, carbon apartheid, and so on—
just to think of one potential angle in my area —

also climate justice as transitional justice— I have two graduate students
developing dissertations on these themes — one with a physics background
and one as a theory/ir student…

It seems that people are grappling with a common emerging set of puzzles
unique to climate studies — but often reverting to a parochial American
centric Obama era nostalgia tinted lens  (aka Don’t look up)

I could see the case for an approach that broadens the conversation, as
modeled in recent works by Sasser, Alison, Reese, and other luminaries…
