Panel on Himalayan Climate Change: the RAI and British Museum's conference on Anthropology, Weather and Climate Change

This may be of interest to some of our members. The Royal Anthropological Institute and the British Museum will be hosting a special conference next May examining Anthropology's contribution to weather and climate research and discourse production. Himalayan anthropologist Ben Campbell and I are co-convening a panel that will explore climate science, its evidence and associated policies, and their interaction with local experience and interpretation in the Himalayan context. The focus is on anthropological method, but we do wish to consider this in the wider policy context. We therefore welcome those contributing to projects of conservationists, engineers, governmental and non-governmental organisations working with climate change agendas, as well as those engaged in more "classical" anthropological research.

If you are interested in submitting a paper, please follow the link below:
