Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
What kind of problem is climate change? Sociologists from across the discipline are beginning to join environmental sociologists in seeking answers to this pressing question. In this session, we will consider what historical and comparative sociology contributes to the debate. We seek papers that apply historical and comparative perspectives to climate change, broadly conceived. We encourage submissions covering a wide range of climate-related social forms, including but not limited to environmental politics, industrial organization, finance, statecraft, organizational ecologies, social movements, knowledge production, opinion, and media.
