About Weather Matters

Weather Matters is an independently edited, student-led publication with the goal of fostering conversation within the social sciences and humanities on issues related to climate change and the environment.

Originally emerging out of the RAI Anthropology’s ‘Weather and Climate Change’ conference at the British Museum in May 2016, Weather Matters hopes to liaise across scholarly disciplines and institutional boundaries and to contribute to a diverse cultural discourse about the manifold ways in which people across the globe give meaning to, foretell, address, and adapt to climate change, local weather patterns, and environmental change.

Weather Matters puts forward one to two thematic Call for Papers each year. We welcome submissions that draw from ethnographic fieldwork, scientific and social science research, and personal reflections and encourage creative formats including images, visual ethnographies, and film.

Weather Matters is generously supported by the University of Oxford’s Institute for Science, Innovation, and Society (InSiS)
