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

Tue Nov 28 16:51:42 GMT 2023




*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.
