Drawing on postcolonial literature and environmental justice frameworks, the study highlights Kurdish resilience, community-led adaptation strategies, and calls for global solidarity in addressing environmental injustices.

International Journal of English Language, Education and Literature Studies (Issue : 3) (Volume : 3)
This article explores the intricate relationship between literature
and the senses, focusing on how literary works engage and
stimulate sensory experiences. We analyse the use of sensory
language and vivid imagery, demonstrating how literature can
transport readers to different realms, evoke profound emotions,
and foster a deep sense of empathy and connection. Furthermore,
we investigate the role of narrative structure and character
development in enhancing reader engagement and emotional
resonance. The impact of literary experience on memory and
learning is also examined, highlighting its lasting effects on
cognitive and emotional processes. Through a review of empirical
research, we elucidate how literature not only shapes sensory
experiences but also influences cognitive functions, serving as a
potent tool for empathy, understanding, and personal growth.

empathy, we can help ensure that children grow up to be informed, engaged, and compassionate members
of society.
