Somewhere Over the Rainbow: Imagination’s Role in Climate Justice via a Deweyan Analysis

Abstract

This research essay offers suggestions for climate action via a Deweyan characterization of imagination and interest—relating these to the resiliency concept of radical imagination. The goal of this analysis is to show how Dewey’s works can be used as a contemporary guide towards social amelioration and climate resilience.
