Thinking Like a Climate

Abstract

Abbreviations ix Preface and Acknowledgments xi Preface and Acknowledgments • xiii ins and outs of local politics, and for reminding this anthropologist that in spite of all the critiques of culture that anthropologists have explored, there is still something profoundly cultural about the challenges that climate change poses. This has challenged me to return to the concept of culture and to reconsider representation as part and parcel of what climate change is as a phenomenon. Thank you also to Marc Hudson for helping me navigate the world of climate change in Manchester, for all the introductions, for always being a critical voice, for never letting narratives lie unchallenged, and for many insightful and reflexive conversations. I look forward to many more. I also thank others who opened my eyes to a different way of thinking, doing, and engaging climate change, and whose generosity of time and tolerance for the indiscipline of ethnographic participation helped open new avenues for considering what climate change is and where and how we might research it. Particular thanks go to Jonathan
