“…It has also been used to account for the intersections between gender, language, and transnationalism on the one hand, and linguistic ideologies and practices on the other; the roles of contexts in the social production of health inequalities (Evans, ; Persmark et al, ), and the interaction of power relationships, social characteristics (e.g. gender, race, ethnicity, class, location, and age), and context‐specific experiences of climate hazards (Walker, Culham, Fletcher, & Reed, ).…”

“…Mindful that there is no agreement on what exactly intersectionality means and that it is conceptualized differently by scholars, we shall follow Collins’ () general conceptualization: “The term intersectionality references the critical insight that race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, nation, ability, and age operate not as unitary, mutually exclusive entities, but as reciprocally constructing phenomena that in turn shape complex social inequalities” (p. 2). In essence, the notion highlights that social inequality is produced by a multitude of intersecting social phenomena, locations, and systems of power, and not by a single factor (Collins, ; Walker et al, ). Aligned to the present paper, intersectionality provides an important vehicle for describing complex contexts, specific inequalities across specified spaces, social settings and interactions, as a way to furthering anti‐subservience efforts towards social transformation and the building of equitable societies (Walker et al, ).…”

Sociolinguistics and modes of social class signalling: African perspectives

The paper evaluates spatial, behavioural, and material signalling of social class in African contexts, focusing on Kenya and Zambia. In particular, it draws on notions of mode of class signalling and intersectionality and a vignette of an interaction between urban-based Western educated development agents and local participants in rural Kenya to illustrate how social class is implicated in interactions. The paper shows how significant features of class and dimensions of social inequality may be perceived intersectionally so that positionalities in class structures are negotiated in contexts of interaction, thus illustrating how structural conditions of class may be challenged and questioned. The paper concludes that sociolinguistics needs to identify the various ways in which the marginalized challenge social structures of inequality. Otherwise there is a risk that sociolinguistics will work to validate inequalities as permanent and fixed, and victims of unequal treatment as permanently condemned and never able to rise against oppressive social structures that tyrannize them.

“…In light of these social complexities, we suggest that researchers and emergency managers alike utilize intersectional climate hazards analysis (Kaijser and Kronsell 2014 ; Walker et al 2019 ). Intersectional analysis can provide a useful framework for generating insights into concomitantly held experiences, conditions and identities.…”

Rethinking the interplay between affluence and vulnerability to aid climate change adaptive capacity

et al. 2020

Affluence and vulnerability are often seen as opposite sides of a coin—with affluence generally understood as reducing forms of vulnerability through increased resilience and adaptive capacity. However, in the context of climate change and an increase in associated hazards and disasters, we suggest the need to re-examine this dynamic relationship—a complex association we define here as the Affluence–Vulnerability Interface (AVI). We review research in different national contexts to show how a more nuanced understanding of the AVI can (a) problematize the notion that increasing material affluence necessarily has a mitigating influence on social vulnerability, (b) extend our analysis of social vulnerability beyond low-income regions to include affluent contexts and (c) improve our understanding of how psychosocial characteristics influence people’s vulnerability. Finally, we briefly outline three methodological approaches that we believe will assist future engagement with the AVI.

“…The issue has an impact on climate change that is felt by humans. In some regions, climate change will have an impact on all aspects of life (Han et al, 2016;Sarkodie & Strezov, 2019;Sadeka et al, 2020;Filho et al, 2020;Castells-Quintana et al, 2018;Walker et al, 2019;Olayide & Alabi, 2018). In addition, extreme climate change will have a derivative impact such as natural disasters and changes in (1) states that the development goals in rural areas means "improving the welfare of the rural community and the quality of human life and poverty reduction through meeting basic needs, construction of rural facilities and infrastructure, development of local economic potential, and use of natural resources and environmentally sustainable".…”

The Impact of Climate Factors, Disaster, and Social Community in Rural Development

Global warming affects climate change and has an overall impact on all aspects of life. On the other hand, community behavior and disaster aspects also have an important role in people's lives. This will also have an impact on regional development. This study aims to find the effect of climate, disaster, and social community on rural development. This study uses data on the potential of rural development from PODES 2014, and 2018 data collection on climate conditions and regional status is sourced from relevant ministries. This research uses Ordinary Least Square (OLS) Regression Analysis method, then continued with CHAID analysis to find the segmentation of the role of climate, disaster, and social factors on rural development. The results of this study found that all research regressor variables significantly influence the Rural Development Index (IPD2018), with an R-squared value of 32.9 percent. Efforts need to be taken in order to implement policies that are targeted, effective, and efficient. The results of this study can be a reference for the government in determining policies by focusing on rural development that have high duration of sunshine, cultivating natural disaster warnings, especially in areas prone to natural disasters, and need to focus on underdeveloped areas.
