Description:

Join us for a book talk with Sarah Dimick, author of Unseasonable Climate Change in Global Literatures. In this book, Dimick explores how literature captures shifting seasonal rhythms caused by climate change, highlighting its impact on both environmentally privileged and precarious communities. Through diverse narratives — from Chennai’s beach trash to New England’s maple sap and Pacific island poetry — she reveals how climate injustice unfolds not just across places and people, but also through time.
