Description
|
A workshop was held by the BSA Climate Change Study Group celebrated 2013's winning articles inviting discussion of the articles and themes they address, as well as the writing process itself.
The first prize was awarded to an international author, Matthew Fry, based in the US at the University of North Texas. The article examined cement production as a case study through which to explore processes of socio-technical transition. It used ‘discursive regulation’ as an analytical lens for understanding how power dynamics underlying carbon-intensive regimes often forestall sustainable transitions and keep industries locked in to unsustainable practices. Ultimately, the paper shows how the cement industry uses power to discursively regulate cement consumption, which both fosters socio-technical regime path dependency and prevents the sustainable transition of the industry (Fry, 2013).
