ABSTRACT:

ZANOTTI, Laura and SUISEEYA, Kimberly R. Marion (Purdue U) Environmental Anthropology and Climate Change Methodological Innovations and Advancements for Social Science in the Digital Age. The 21st Conference of Parties to the 2015 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Paris, France marks almost thirty years of climate negotiations, assessments, and panels. Within environmental anthropology, political ecology frameworks have sought to attend to the increasingly multi-scalar and nested contexts in which climate change and environmental governance takes place. This panel addresses the possibilities, limitations, and ethical considerations of mixed, plural and digital methods within environmental anthropology and their effectiveness at addressing the spatial and temporal scales at which local to global environmental governance is currently enacted.

 

Session took place in Vancouver, B.C. Canada at the 76th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology, March 29 - April 2, 2016.
