[Commlist] Call for Abstracts - Routledge Handbook of Climate Crisis Communication

*Call for Abstracts - Routledge Handbook of Climate Crisis Communication*

To be published by Routledge in 2025, /The Handbook of Climate Crisis 
Communication/ aims to provide readers with a single, authoritative 
source of information about key fields, concepts, approaches and 
debates. Edited by Professor Alison Anderson 
<https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/staff/alison-anderson> and Dr Candice 
Howarth 
<https://www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/profile/candice-howarth/>, the 
handbook will be a go-to guide for established and newly interested 
researchers, for government and policymaking bodies, and for students 
and their instructors.

The goal of the handbook is to explain theoretical, conceptual, and 
empirical developments that have been made in recent years; describe 
their origins and connections to broader topics, and highlight emerging 
areas where new and/or additional research and reflection are warranted. 
It seeks to grapple with unique and deep-seated communication challenges 
that extend well beyond research on how to most effectively convey 
information. In doing so, it widens the lens to include a focus on power 
dimensions and issues of perception, cognition, and self-identity and 
social-political positioning with regards to attitudes and action.


Due to the addition of extra themes, we are seeking contributors for the 
following chapter topics:

  * ‘Cultural cognition, risk perception and climate change’
  * ‘Climate change and behavioural science’
  * ‘Visual research methods and audience reception of climate change’
  * ‘Climate pedagogy and climate activism’
  * ‘Climate change communication in Asia’
  * ‘Climate justice, indigenous communities and the media’
  * ‘Influence of political ideology on news media representations of
    climate change’
  * ‘Social media networks and climate change’
  * ‘Climate journalism, the shifting media landscape and media reform’
Each chapter will be in the region of 5,000 words (including 
bibliography), will be written in plain, accessible prose with short 
sentences and between 5 and 8 sections. They will need to be models of 
clarity and brevity with up to 40 visual aids envisaged for the whole 
Handbook. The titles are not set in stone and we the Editors work with 
chapter authors to agree these. The intention is that there should be 
many productive overlaps between chapters, with different authors often 
touching upon similar material but with different emphases. All authors 
will receive a free copy of the handbook.

The deadline for a strong first draft is 1st March 2024 and the deadline 
for _200-word abstracts is 13th December 2023_.

Abstracts to be emailed to: (aanderson /at/ plymouth.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(aanderson /at/ plymouth.ac.uk)>

We will let you know whether or not your abstract has been accepted by 
15th December.
