DESCRIPTION:Author and criminology professor Alex Alvarez\, Ph.D.\, will discuss climate change and how it could result in war and genocide when he gives Ohio Wesleyan University&rsquo\;s 2021 Robert Kragalott Lecture on Genocide\, Mass Atrocity\, and Human Rights.
Alvarez will present &ldquo\;Nations and Nationalism in a Warming World: Genocidal Risk in an Era of Climate Change&rdquo\; at 7 p.m. March 30 via Zoom.
&ldquo\;Climate change is increasingly impacting communities and nations around the world and challenging our ability to cope and adapt to new environmental realities\,&rdquo\; said Alvarez\, the President&rsquo\;s Distinguished Teaching Fellow and a professor of criminology and criminal justice at Northern Arizona University.
&ldquo\;It also poses some very real hazards for the development of violent conflict\,&rdquo\; Alvarez said. &ldquo\;The focus of this presentation is on exploring some of the implications of climate change for facilitating war and genocide and tracing the ways in which climate-induced stresses will contribute to the development of exclusionary forms of nationalism as conflict over resources\, borders\, and displaced populations become more prevalent.&rdquo\;
Ohio Wesleyan&rsquo\;s Kragalott Lecture honors the career\, contributions\, and memory of Robert Kragalott\, Ph.D.\, a professor in the OWU Department of History from 1964 to 1991. Learn more at www.owu.history.
