Ecologies of Global Migration

Widespread displacement as a result of a warming climate naturally sparks a global diffusion of culture and tradition, disrupting geographical and societal boundaries and collapsing the physical and psychological distance between communities; in other words, the world is not only getting hotter, it is getting smaller, too. Ecologies of Global Migration seeks to show you how migrants travel hundreds of miles in search of safety, shelter, and opportunity, bringing their memories with them wherever they go.
