Citizenship in the Time of Climate Change: Exploring Displacement, Adaptation, and Resilience in South Asia

In South Asia, climate change is not something that will happen in the future. It is a reality of daily life for the majority in the subcontinent. Part of the Moynihan Institute’s Challenges to Citizenship series, this roundtable considers how a changing climate, its impacts, and responses to it reformulate concepts and practices of citizenship and belonging. The roundtable will examine these challenges drawing from research in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. It will examine issues of conflict over land, resource governance, displacement and resettlement, and center-periphery dynamics that further marginalize those directly impacted by climate change, from across local, national, and international perspectives. The roundtable will be moderated and chaired by Professor Farhana Sultana of the South Asia Center and the Department of Geography & the Environment at the Maxwell School.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
