Writing excellent articles on climate change: workshop and award ceremony
15:00-17:00, Thursday 14th March; BSA Meeting Room, Imperial Wharf, London, UK
This event provides an opportunity to learn about writing excellent social scientific articles on climate change. We have invited the winners of the BSA Climate Change Study Group’s 2012 article prize to contribute to an informal workshop on the practicalities and challenges of writing about climate change. The workshop will run from 15:00 – 17:00 and will focus on the process of producing published articles: there will be a chance to learn about how really good articles come to be written and to discuss some of the problems and pitfalls along the way. This will be followed by an award ceremony, starting at 17:00, in which Sarah Hards, David Uzzell/Nora Rathzel, Gill Seyfang/Alex Haxeltine and Brigitte Nerlich talk briefly about their winning entries. The event will end with a wine reception.
