M FLOODS AND FOOD
SECURITY TO GENDERED MIGRATION by Dr. Camelia Dewan
Please join the talk at: https://ub-edu.zoom.us/j/93777399354
Perilously close to sea level and vulnerable to floods, erosion, and
cyclones, Bangladesh is one of the top recipients of development aid
earmarked for climate change adaptation. Yet to what extent do adaptation
projects address local needs and concerns? Combining environmental history
and ethnographic fieldwork with development professionals, rural farmers,
and landless women, Camelia Dewan critiques development narratives of
Bangladesh as a =E2=80=9Cclimate change victim=E2=80=9D. She will draw on t=
he concept of
=E2=80=98climate reductive translations=E2=80=99 to understand current misr=
eadings of
floods, food security and migration in coastal Bangladesh that create
flawed causal narratives that ultimately risk exacerbating climatic threats
and structural inequalities.
Dr. Camelia Dewan is an environmental anthropologist focusing on the
anthropology of development and Assistant Professor in Cultural
Anthropology at Uppsala University (Sweden).
