Reminder: 4th Energy & Society Conference
Deadline extended until 31 January 2018. <br> <br> <br> <br>4th Energy & Society Conference: Energy transitions in a divided world <br> <br>Midterm conference of the European Sociological Association RN12 - Environment <br>and Society <br> <br> <br> <br>Call for Papers <br> <br> <br>3rd 5th September 2018, University of Exeter, UK <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>The fourth Energy & Society Conference will take place in Exeter, UK, from 3rd <br>to 5th September 2018. We aim to bring together researchers interested in the <br>social dimensions of energy, to exchange insightful ideas and create <br>opportunities for collaboration. We invite contributions from sociology, other <br>social sciences and interdisciplinary networks. <br> <br> <br> <br>This time the conference theme is Energy transitions in a divided world. The <br>theme reflects recent developments around the world that have been linked to a <br>decline in social and spatial cohesion and cooperation: the onward march of <br>individualism, privatisation and deregulation associated with neoliberal <br>principles, and the rise of nationalism within and beyond Europe. The Brexit <br>vote in the UK and the Trump presidency in the US are just two manifestations <br>of these processes. But what are the impacts of these wider social <br>transformations for future energy systems? <br> <br> <br>Confirmed keynote speakers: <br> <br> <br>Catherine Mitchell (University of Exeter) <br> <br>Harald Rohracher (Linkping University) <br> <br> <br> <br>This theme is intended to spark debate and discussion, but we encourage <br>submissions on a wide variety of topics including but not limited to the <br>following: <br> <br> * Local capacities, responsibilities and strategies in energy governance <br> * Public participation in transforming energy systems and citizen <br>energy <br> * International cooperation and the impact of Brexit on Europe's energy <br>transition <br> * Transition strategies: From grid interconnection to sharing and <br>sufficiency <br> * Theoretical approaches to energy transitions and critical perspective <br> * Social justice, energy poverty and (future) energy systems <br> * Dynamics and patterns of energy consumption <br> * Smart meters, smart appliances, smart grids, smart places <br> * Embodiment and energy: habits, dispositions, practical knowledge <br> * Green economy, circular economy, and visions of the future <br> * Energy discourses economic, political and environmental narratives <br> * Methods for operationalising sociological theories on energy <br>transitions <br> * Energy-water-food-resource-nexus <br> * Living labs/real life laboratories in energy research <br> <br>We encourage the submission of abstracts for presentation in traditional <br>conference session format as well as for roundtables and poster presentations. <br>We also welcome proposals for workshops organised by participants. <br> <br> <br> <br>Workshops are meant to discuss a specific issue reflecting the conference <br>theme, or the contribution of social analysis to energy research and policy. <br>The discussion should be based on short inputs, and actively involve <br>participants. Interactive formats are encouraged. In roundtable sessions paper <br>presenters will have more time for discussion than in traditional sessions. <br>This format is particularly useful for presenting work in progress (e.g. <br>doctoral thesis) and early stage ideas for discussion with peers. Poster <br>presenters will be given space in a session for a 3 minutes short presentation <br>and posters will be displayed throughout the conference. <br> <br> <br> <br>Submissions: <br> <br> <br> <br>- Abstracts (oral, roundtable or poster presentations): 150-200 words, plus <br>authors, affiliations, and email addresses. <br> <br>- Workshop proposals: the proposals should provide a title and a brief <br>abstract (150-200 words). Workshops can contain up to four presentations. If <br>the workshop involves individual presentations, the proponent organisers need <br>to include a title and abstract for each paper (150 words, plus names and <br>affiliations). <br> <br>Authors cannot present more than one paper as lead-author. Abstracts must be <br>submitted in English. <br> <br>Please submit your abstracts and workshop proposals to: <br>energysociety2018@exeter.ac.uk <br> <br>The deadline for the submission of abstracts and workshop proposals is January <br>31st 2018. Authors will be informed whether or not their abstract or workshop <br>proposal is accepted by early March 2018. <br> <br>The registration fees for members of the Research Network 12 Environment and <br>Society of the European Sociological Association, for non-members, and for <br>students are listed below.
