Honors College Summer 2023 Assignment

Why do you think Amitav Ghosh believes that the contemporary climate crisis is also a crisis of the imagination? Please focus your response to this question on one of the three areas of his critique—literature, historical thinking, or politics—and present an argument using evidence from The Great Derangement about whether or not you agree with this framing of the discussion.

You will bring this essay to the first day of your HCOL 1000 seminar.  Your finished paper should be no more than about 750 words (two to three pages, double spaced).  It should be titled and marked with page numbers.  Please note that no outside research is expected for this assignment.
