High five to @SteveLorteau and @parkermuzzerall for such a smart analysis and theoretical framework. This paper shows that although climate concerns predicts support for renewables, it does NOT predict opposition to fossil fuels. Interesting!

@UBCSociology PhD student Parker Muzzerall and I worked with @kathleenogrady to use insights and evidence from sociology to weigh in on Canada's federal budget. #Sociology#ClimateAction
Budget 2024 needs to set an accelerated course for a low-carbon future.
To do so, Emily Huddart Kennedy (@HuddartEmily) and Parker Muzzerall explain, the upcoming budget also needs to address regional polarization and divisiveness.

@Brooksidefilms @m_sahakian @Eco_Types@esaRN5_soccons And fwiw, my colleagues, Josée Johnston, Shyon Baumann and Merin Oleschuk and I are working on a book project about meat. Stay tuned!
@Brooksidefilms @m_sahakian @Eco_Types@esaRN5_soccons Because of that, I am wary of telling someone who cares about the environment that they should not eat meat. That is a path for some people to exercise their relationship; not for everyone. I can appreciate your concerns about animal agriculture though!
@Brooksidefilms @m_sahakian @Eco_Types@esaRN5_soccons Hi Simon,
🧵(1) Thank you for the question. Sorry, I didn't see it until now. My argument in eco-types is that there are many ways to be an environmentalist and the aim of protecting the planet is hampered when we make environmentalism too narrow and rigid.
Are we allowed to have favourite book talks? I absolutely loved working with the team at @ReClimateCanada to organize a webinar based on @Eco_Types. Q&A with climate communicators in Canada was thought-provoking and rewarding. Link to webinar + recap: https://t.co/WcMFg25oB0
Congratulations to our students Lara Antebi, Jiaxin Gu, Carly Hamdon, Parker Muzzerall, and Mark Shakespear, who received SSHRC funding for their research projects!

PhD student Carly Hamdon and I co-authored a paper on @eco_types (published by @PrincetonUPress)! This was such a fun piece to work on, with the great team at Contexts.

How should we think about the future in the face of #ClimateChange? Our authors share perspectives and tools to generate alternative possibilities of hope, action, or simple awareness regarding the #planet and its beings. @HuddartEmily@pnlehmann
