Food and Weather
ENeC, l’IEHCA, l’université de Münster sont partenaires pour organiser un colloque pluridisciplinaire en Sorbonne et à l’Institut Goethe les 2-4 avril 2014 intitulé: L’alimentation et le temps qu’il fait / Essen und Wetter
Ce colloque vise à combler une lacune dans la recherche, en étudiant les nombreuses interdépendances qui existent entre les conditions atmosphériques et les différents aspects de l’alimentation humaine.
Alors que la recherche pluridisciplinaire sur l’histoire et les cultures de l’alimentation s’est institutionnalisée, développée et diversifiée sur un plan international au cours des dernières années surtout dans le cadre de l’IEHCA (http://www.iehca.eu), celle sur le temps et le climat connaît actuellement un essor comparable, qui se manifeste notamment dans les activités du Réseau Perception du climat (EHESS : http://www.perceptionclimat.net). Une mise en regard de ces champs conceptuels semble donc féconde.

Open Call for “Strange Weather”
How Can We Model and Even Generate Weather?
Calling all future forecasters, weather hackers and planetary visionaries, Science Gallery is seeking project proposals for our upcoming summer exhibition, Strange Weather.
Strange Weather is a curated exhibition that will bring together meteorologists, artists, climate scientists, cloud enthusiasts and designers to explore how we model, predict, and even create weather.

Applications are sought for a two-year National Science Foundation (NSF) funded postdoctoral fellowship at the intersection of environmental history, the history of science, and political ecology at the University of Oregon. The postdoctoral fellowship is part of Professor Mark Carey’s NSF CAREER grant (#1253779) on “Glaciers and Glaciology: How Nature, Field Research, and Societal Forces Shape the Earth Sciences” (see links below for more information). Applicants should have a research agenda that intersects with this NSF-funded project by examining historical glacier-society interactions, the history of glaciology, the history of the earth sciences, climate-society dynamics, the role of dynamic environmental change in the evolution of scientific knowledge, or the history of field-based sciences. Applicants may also have broader or more theoretical connections to the project, or they may have related regional specializations in the history of Greenland, the Arctic, Antarctica, or high mountains such as the Himalaya, Alps, or Andes.

Intuitively, weather plays an important role in everyday life. How often do we not expose ourselves to cold, heat, sun, rain, snow or wind, or do we refer to these same elements at the coffee table or when writing post cards from a holiday address. Recently, weather has also emerged as an important policy aspect, with climate change, urban microclimates, health, accessibility, livability and subsequent aims to reduce car mobility and promote healthy but weather-exposed transport modes and physical activities high on the agenda. Yet although the influence of weather on daily life has been pervasive and its societal relevance never more pronounced, current interdisciplinary scientific debate on how weather shapes everyday life still requires further research to complete the areas that are under-investigated and provide additional empirical evidence to support policy-making. We thus seek to organize a session (or sessions), which address(es) the role of weather in daily life in its broadest sense, including behavioral or psychological responses to weather by diverse societal groups in a diverse range of geographical, cultural and climate contexts. We welcome submissions that examine topics including but not limited to:
