New Issue – Exchanges: Special Issue Sustainability Cultures

We are delighted to announce the launch of the latest issue of the Exchanges journal, which is a special issue dedicated to the theme of sustainability cultures

Exchanges: The Interdisciplinary Research Journal is part of our local journal community which are published and hosted by the University of Warwick Press. Based in Warwick’s internationally renowned Institute of Advanced Study, Exchanges has been published continually since 2013. From 2020 onward it has frequently featured special themed issues developed in collaboration with local, national and international collaborators, on topics of broadly interdisciplinary interest.

This latest volume, the thirty-third issue published to date, contains papers on the theme of Sustainability Culture. These were each inspired by talks and debate at the various International Conferences on Sustainability Culture hosted by Taiwan's National Chung Hsing University in recent years. This issue hopes to further dialogues on what is meant and understood by concepts and perceptions of sustainability culture as we move further into the twenty-first century. Moreover, the issue seeks to explore how our culture(s) define the drive and thrust toward sustainability, within an interdisciplinary framing.

Articles in the issue include an introduction to what is understood to be ‘sustainability culture’ by the issue's contributing guest editor, alongside others on issues as varied as agricultural development and food security, carbon capture, the Anthropocene and paradox, permaculture, generational trauma, conversation fieldwork, and artistic responses to the 'chemical gaze' of pesticides. The editorial also provides an overview of the issue’s contents with updates for contributing authors and forthcoming issue publication plans.

As the first issue under Exchanges’ new Editor-in-Chief is a particular joy to see its publication.
