The UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy has released a compelling podcast episode, Then & Now, featuring Dr. Bharat Venkat discussing thermal inequality. Originally recorded earlier this summer, the episode, Under the Heat Dome, is especially timely in light of recent tragic wildfires.

The conversation delves into the social and environmental dimensions of thermal inequality, offering critical insights into how rising temperatures disproportionately impact vulnerable communities.
