CfP: 5th Energy and Society Conference, 8-10 September 2020, Trento, Italy
Fifth Energy and Society Conference <br>8-10 September 2020 <br> <br> <br>Energy transition: Does the mountain give birth to a mouse? <br> <br>Description and Themes <br> <br>The Fifth Energy and Society Conference and midterm conference of the European <br>Sociological Associations Research Network 12 Environment and Society will <br>take place in Trento, Italy, from 8th to 10th September 2020. We aim to bring <br>together researchers interested in the social dimensions of energy, to <br>exchange insightful ideas and create opportunities for collaboration. We <br>invite contributions from across the social sciences and interdisciplinary <br>research teams working on energy and society issues. <br> <br>The theme of the conference calls into question how discourses about energy <br>transition have been put into practice. As the worlds hunger for energy <br>still appears to be increasing, the transition to clean sources of energy will <br>need to be revolutionary, requiring the transformation of forms of social <br>organization (Davidson and Gross, 2018). And yet, what is actually changing? <br> <br>This theme is intended to spark debate and discussion, and with this reflexive <br>approach and sociological lenses, we encourage the submission of abstracts on <br>a wide variety of topics including but not limited to the following: <br> <br> * Theories, concepts and methods in social science research on energy and <br>environmental sociology <br> * Local capacities, responsibilities and strategies in energy governance <br> * Public engagement <br> * Energy governance and policies <br> * Transition strategies: From grid interconnection to sharing and <br>sufficiency <br> * Justice and vulnerability <br> * Dynamics and patterns of energy consumption and presumption <br> * Smart meters, smart appliances, smart grids, smart places <br> * Green economy, circular economy <br> * Narratives, discourses, and visions of the future <br> * Energy-water-food nexus <br> <br>In thematic sessions each presenter will have around 20 minutes for <br>presentation and discussion with peers. <br> <br>Additionally you can send in abstracts to the following workshops/special <br>sessions that have been proposed by different authors following a pre- call <br>for workshop proposals. Interactive workshops are encouraged, thus discussion <br>should be based on short inputs, and actively involve participants.
