Description

This lecture explores the historic impact of environmental distress, such as famine, drought, fire, and flood, on migration patterns. It delves into case studies like the Irish Potato Famine, the Dust Bowl in the US, the Mumbai Fire, and the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, highlighting how these events influenced large-scale population movements. The discussion also raises the question of how contemporary migration tied to climate change differs from historical patterns.
