Climate Havens Symposium: Humanistic Perspectives on Resilience, Migration, and Resources
This event is part of a two-day symposium split between the campuses of the University of Rochester and RIT, which will bring together a wide range of scholars to discuss “climate havens.” As climate risks intensify, the idea of climate havens—and the identification of regions like the Great Lakes as more resilient to environmental change—raises pressing questions about space, belonging, justice, resources, and community. This symposium will explore climate havens through historical, philosophical, artistic, literary, and cultural perspectives, organized around three central themes: “What Is a Haven?”, “Whose Haven Is It?” and” Climate Havens and Natural Resources."
