SUMMARY:Tyndall Manchester seminar- Changing institutions in a changing c
 limate

DESCRIPTION:In the seminar\, I argue that a more rounded understanding of
  how to respond effectively to the challenges posed by human-made climat
 e change may be obtained by drawing on an institutional perspective. In 
 particular I advance an approach which combines neo-institutional theory
  and critical discourse analysis in a complementary way. Such a discours
 e-institutional view has a number of benefits: (1) institutionally\, it 
 moves analysis beyond the usual if understandable focus on the activitie
 s and policies of government\; (2) due attention is given to a view of i
 nstitutions as stable but potentially changeable norms\, professional st
 andards\, culture\, and ingrained habit\; (3) the language basis of inst
 itutions is duly recognized\; and (4) connections among language in text
 \, and in discursive and social practice are acknowledged\, as are their
  role in processes of (non- or de-) institutionalization. The presentati
 on summarizes the suggested approach\, and illustrates it with reference
  to the example of the diffusion of renewable energy technologies.
