Call for Papers: Climate Cultures in Europe and North America: Local, Regional and Transatlantic Formation of Climate Change Knowledge and Action
Posted: 4/29/2019 (Conference)
Overview
This edited volume aims to bring together new social science studies on the current diversity of climate cultures in Europe and North America. To date, these two regions bear the biggest responsibility for the severe climate change crisis that has engulfed us on a global level, yet they are also among the most likely sources for implementing solutions and adaptations. We are particularly interested in the increasing variability of perceptions and practices surrounding climate change that are developing below and above the level of nations in these regions, for instance, within local and translocal contexts, as well as the formation of new transatlantic coalitions and collaborations. In order to contribute to the creation of climate change solutions and the implementation of adaptations, we must develop a deeper scholarly understanding of the many voices, actors and forces that shape the global debate and politics of climate change today.
Please submit paper proposals by August 1, 2019 and include:
- title and abstract of proposed chapter (250-300 words)
- five key words
- names, titles and affiliations of all authors
- contact information for one corresponding author
Please email the requested information (in one document) to Thorsten Heimann at thorsten.heimann@fu-berlin.de for an initial round of review. We will then invite all authors of accepted proposals to submit full chapters by February 2020.
