How Climate Change Comes to Matter by Candis Callison

A rich ethnographic account describing the processes by which climate change comes to matter collectively and individually, and how vernacular explanations of climate change reflect diverse ways of knowing and caring about the world.
“How Climate Change Comes to Matter is dense, intelligent, and thoroughly researched…She presents an interesting conversation about climate change, rather than engaging in many of the typical debates one could read anywhere. Her unique perspective informs the content of the book and makes for an interesting read.” -- Jonathan Bond * Vancouver Weekly *
“... readers can reflect on the experimental methods used for public engagement and questions of media, politics, and scientific expertise that operate on shifting theoretical, empirical, and moral perspectives to help consider definitions of what climate change means. Recommended. Graduate students/faculty.” -- R. A. Delgado Jr. * Choice *
"This book is a marvel. It brings climate change research directly back into the folds of the anthropological tradition; and brings the anthropological tradition to the beating centers of climate change discourse. If you have never before had an interest in climate change, you will be spellbound by this ethnography. If you do have an interest in climate change, this book is essential." -- Elizabeth Marino * Anthropos *
"...a key work examining the wide variety of 'discourse coalitions' involved in climate communication. It is a magisterial treatment of the deep roots of contention in this momentous and unfolding story." -- Noel Salmond * Reading Religion *
Candis Callison is Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of British Columbia.
