CfP 5th Energy and Society Conference
Dear colleagues, <br> <br>the 5th Energy & Society Conference has been postponed to 10-12 February 2021 <br>due to the pandemic. The call for papers has been re-opened until October 16. <br>Please find further information below. <br> <br>Best wishes, <br> <br>Ana Horta <br> <br> <br>https://webmagazine.unitn.it/evento/sociologia/70872/fifth-energy-and-society <br>-conference <br> <br>Fifth Energy and Society Conference <br>10-12 February 2021 <br> <br> <br>Energy transition: Does the mountain give birth to a mouse? <br> <br>Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fifth Energy and Society Conference and <br>midterm conference of the European Sociological Associations Research Network <br>12 Environment and Society has been postponed from September 2020 to 10-12 <br>February 2021. <br> <br>The conference will still take place in Trento, Italy. We believe that <br>face-to-face meetings are best for facilitating interaction and networking, <br>and thus we will keep the in-person format of the conference. <br> <br>In order to improve chances of participation we decided to re-open the call <br>for papers. <br>By re-opening the call for papers, we welcome new abstract submissions. <br> <br>Accepted contributors: For technical reasons we kindly ask you to re-register <br>and re-submit your abstract. However, you will not go through the selection <br>process again as you are already eligible. We are sorry for the inconvenience <br>this may cause you. <br> <br>We aim to bring together researchers interested in the social dimensions of <br>energy, to exchange insightful ideas and create opportunities for <br>collaboration. We invite contributions from across the social sciences and <br>interdisciplinary research teams working on energy and society issues. <br> <br>Description and Themes <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>And what impacts is the pandemic and its economic effects having on energy <br>transition? <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 prosumption <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> * Energy citizenship <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.
