17th January 2011 British Library Conference Centre, 96 Euston Road, London, UK A seminar, lecture and exhibition are marking the launch of the British Sociological Association Climate Change Study Group. The BSA Climate Change Study Group aims to promote sociological lines of enquiry and modes of thought with respect to a range of topics relating to the challenges of mitigating and adapting to climate change. These include themes of energy, mobility, water and waste and related issues of equity, justice, infrastructural change and governance. As well as generating new lines of enquiry, the study group will experiment with different methods of consolidating and promoting existing work and of actively building audiences for sociological research. The regular work of the study group will be determined by its members and will include organising or contributing to workshops, seminars and conferences.
