The American Anthropological Association’s (AAA) Global Climate Change Task Force is pleased to introduce a new listserv for those with an interest in the intersection of anthropology and climate change: climate-change-anthro. The listserv will promote conversations among the task force members and the greater anthropological community; and will enable climate-oriented anthropologists to share information about upcoming events, forums, teaching tools and modules, views and ideas. It is modeled after the A&E listserv (eAnth of the Anthropology and Environment section of AAA), but will be more focused on climate and will exist only for the duration of the task force (currently slated to end in late 2013).
If you are interested in signing up, please go to https://archives.binhost.com/lists/listinfo/climate-change-anth.

Melbourne University Press has just published a new book on climate change politics and social movements by University of Melbourne professors Verity Burmannm, a policitical scientist, and Hans A. Baer, an anthropologist. Employing a critical social science perspective, the book, entitled , caefully examines the range of forces at play from polluting corporations to grassroots climate justice movements designed to awaken public attention and challenge existing structures of production of greenhouse gases. Hans Baer has been working on the anthropology of climate change, including ethnographic study of climate change politics, for a number of years. Other books of his on climate change include (2009, with Merrill Singer) and (2012). He also took the lead on a chapter on climate change in the forthcoming 3rd edition of (with Mmerrill Singer and Ida Susser) and has published a number of book chapters and journal articles, including several review articles, that seek to build a critical anthropology of climate change as well as applied work in climate change mitigation.
