*/Call for Papers for a Special Issue or Section of Social Networks /*
*/on “Social Networks and Anthropogenic Climate Change”./*
This is a call for manuscripts on social networks and climate change
that will appear in a special collection in /Social Networks/ (either as
a section, or a special issue, depending on the number of high quality
papers).
Anthropogenic global warming, and consequent climate change, are amongst
the biggest challenges facing humankind. Early research on anthropogenic
climate change, understandably, was mostly conducted by natural
scientists, who analyzed the origins of climate change and its potential
impacts on the earth system. The effects of individuals, societies and
policies – key drivers of climate change – and the social dimensions of
climate change were given secondary emphasis for a significant period of
time. Since the beginning of the 1990s, due to the increasing awareness
of both the significant social consequences and the impacts of human
behavior and social structures on climate change, social researchers
have begun investigating the social scientific aspects of this problem.
However, while a variety of social dimensions of climate change issues
have been studied for several decades, it is only recently that a
growing number of scholars have started to analyze the role that social
networks play in anthropogenic climate change. These works constitute
the beginnings of a significant body of work by social network scholars,
contributing crucial insights by looking beyond actor attributes and
placing a focus on the relations amongst actors, and shedding a light on
network dynamics.
The scope for potential papers includes, but is not restricted to,
topics involving climate change and networks with regard to any of the
following: discourse networks, policy networks, political polarization,
social movements, network analyses of social media, analyses of
networks, attitudes, values, and opinions, networks and community
resilience, carbon emissions and the world system. Diverse network
methodologies are welcomed.
Manuscripts need to be submitted through the /Social Networks/ journal
online portal by *June 21^st , 2020*. When submitting your manuscript,
please indicate that your manuscript is being submitted for
consideration for the special issue on “Social Networks and
Anthropogenic Climate Change”.
