LOCATION:University of Sussex\, Brighton\, United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:<p>On the 17th October 2013\, the Centre for Social and Political Thought and the Centre for World Environmental History at Sussex University will be hosting a joint one-day workshop on how the humanities and social sciences have engaged with issues around climate change.</p>\n<p>Within the last two decades\, discussions around climate change have expanded from the natural sciences to include the social sciences and humanities. &nbsp\;It is now clear that climate change has political\, economic and social consequences. &nbsp\;However\, until now academic discussions on the topic have focused primarily on policy implementation and the consequences of such actions. Furthermore\, the historical dimensions to the debate have been severely neglected. &nbsp\;Therefore\, with this in mind\, the aim of the one-day workshop will be to explore different approaches to the understanding of the climate change phenomenon with a view to further enhancing the inter-disciplinary approach to the subject. &nbsp\;Thus\, this workshop will provide an opportunity for\, among others\, social theorists\, environmental activists\, environmental historians and intellectual historians to come together to exchange ideas about how to understand the &lsquo\;climate change phenomenon&rsquo\;.</p>\n<p><br> Keynote Speakers are:<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Andrew Chitty (Sussex University)<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Gideon Calder (University of South Wales)</p>\n<p><br> The format of the workshop will be as follows:<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Morning session: graduate students<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; First keynote: Andrew Chitty<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Afternoon session: environmental activists<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Second keynote: Gideon Calder</p>\n<p>We would welcome submissions on the following topics:<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Ideology and climate change (we would particularly welcome any papers on the topic of the relationship between conservatism and climate change)<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Human geography and climate change<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Media coverage of climate change science<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Climate change denial<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Historical aspects to the climate change debate<br> &bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; The role of religion</p>\n<p><br> Submissions<br> The deadline for submissions is 20th September 2013. &nbsp\;Please e-mail a 250 word abstract\, along with details of your institution (if applicable) to either Alex Elliott or James Cullis at the addresses below.</p>\n<p>For further information please e-mail Alex Elliott (aje28@sussex.ac.uk)&nbsp\; or<br> James Cullis (J.Cullis@sussex.ac.uk)</p>
