| dc.description.abstract | Climate, Culture, and the Human Journey: From the Lens of Communities in Past and Current Contexts represents a thought-provoking exploration of humanity's enduring relationship with climate through historical and contemporary lenses. This compelling book offers a multifaceted view of how climate has and continues to shape human life and journey, playing a pivotal role on the transformation of cultures, communities, and individual lives worldwide. This publication can be described as an essential resource for students, educators, and researchers. Through a collection of articles that present unique insights in the multifaceted impacts of climate migration, this work illuminates how communities have adapted to environmental changes, offering lessons that resonate with today's global climate challenges. The collection is comprised of texts that are rich and varied. A vital contribution is "Climate Change and Migration," a foundational text on the relationship between climate change and migration. This text's broad scope is balanced by the additional contributions to the book that focus on more localized case studies, for instance, the impact of environmental change on Idaho's agricultural laborers. Contributions also address specific conflicts and their legacies. This includes a chapter that focuses on the environmental destruction the US conflict wrought on Laos. Another text addresses the current conflict in Ukraine through the lens of cultural heritage. The role of memory and historic conflict is also addressed in a chapter that examines how environments can produce diasporic consciousness, focusing on the experiences of Japanese communities interned in the United States during the Second World War. Another prominent stream of contributions in the book focuses on pedagogy. Within this stream, one chapter discusses on the impact of the internationalization of university curriculum design, utilizing as a case study the Global Leaders Fellowship Program initiated by the Idaho Museum of International Diaspora. Another chapter addresses how classroom climate can impact academic performance. Additional contributions to the book tackle diverse topics, from an environmental consciousness in popular comics to resiliency in health systems. The scope of the collection truly reflects the multifaceted reality of climate change and its nature as a "wicked problem" to be grappled with. | |
