Description

In an era of dramatic environmental change, social change is desperately needed to curb burgeoning consumption. Many calls to action have focused on individual behaviour or technological innovation, with relative silence from the social sciences on other modes and methods of intervening in social life. This book shows how we can go beyond behaviour change in the pursuit of sustainability. Inspired by the ‘practice turn’ in consumption studies, this interdisciplinary book looks through the lens of social practice theory to explore important and timely questions about how to intervene in social life. It discusses a range of applied sustainability topics including energy consumption, housing provision, water demand, transport, climate change, curbside recycling and smart grids, seeking to redefine what intervention is, how it happens, and who or what can intervene to address the growing list of environmental calamities facing contemporary societies. These issues are explored through a range of specific case studies from Australia, the UK and the US, providing theoretical insights that are of international relevance. The book will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of sociology, consumption studies, environmental studies, geography, and science and technology studies, as well as policy makers and practitioners seeking to intervene in social life for sustainability. Review This book brings together thinkers at the forefront of applying practice theory to the challenges of moving society towards sustainability. It not only consolidates practice theory’s critique of conventional approaches to changing what people do, but points towards alternative ways of thinking through how change can be effected. Matt Watson, University of Sheffield, UK How can practices be made, unmade or retrieved from dormancy to help us shift towards sustainability? How can social practice scholarship help rethink intervention in policy and governance? Bringing together provocative discussions from established and emerging voices, this book itself makes a decisive intervention in our responses to the climate change challenge. Lesley Head, University of Wollongong, Australia A profoundly important book. Playing politics with methods and social practice theory, this book challenges conventional sustainability discourse based on individuals’ behavioural change. It convincingly demonstrates different pathways for analysis and alternative avenues for intervention, governance and change.
