For the past two years, I've been synthesising and presenting my research into Christian environmentalism at a variety of fora. This has finally coalesced in a series of publications recently, so it seemed like a good time to gather some of these strands together in case anyone might be interested in the big picture and how all these bits fit together. It's worth noting that quite a lot of this work is still coming together, so there are several publications in draft and which I've presented which won't be out for a while yet officially. I'll also highlight a few features that are still WIP.
|
||||
|
||||
### First, some of the official publications include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Christopher D. Ives, Jeremy H. Kidwell, [“Religion and social values for sustainability”](https://jeremykidwell.info/publications/2019_religion_social_values/) in *Sustainability Science*, vol. n, iss. n, Feb 2019.
|
||||
- Jeremy H. Kidwell, Franklin Ginn, Michael Northcott, Elizabeth Bomberg and Alice Hague, [“Christian climate care: Slow change, modesty and eco-theo-citizenship”](https://jeremykidwell.info/publications/2018_geo/) in Geo, vol. 5, iss. 2, Sep 2018.
|
||||
- Jeremy H. Kidwell and Michael Northcott, [“Temporality and Christian Environmental Activism”](https://jeremykidwell.info/publications/2018_temporality_activism/) in Greening of Religion: Hope in the Eye of the Storm, ed. Jonathan Leader, Cherry Hill Seminary Press, 2018, pp. 167-175.
|
||||
|
||||
### Also relevant are:
|
||||
|
||||
- An unpublished piece of data science research I have in preparation: ["Mapping Environmental Action"](https://jeremykidwell.info/publications/mapping_environmental_action/).
|
||||
- A forthcoming article presented for the International Studies Association,
|
||||
[Religion in Global Environmental Politics: Structuring Religious Environmentalism](https://jeremykidwell.info/presentations/201903_isa/)
|
||||
- Jeremy H. Kidwell, [“The historical roots of the ecological crisis”](https://jeremykidwell.info/publications/2018_oxford_handbook_crisis/) in OUP Handbook of Ecology and Bible, 2019
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### I've presented in several fora:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Presentation on "Mobilising the Churches Around the Environment"](https://jeremykidwell.info/files/presentations/presentation-20190225-mobilising_churches.html) to a group of UK NGO executives and faith leaders (Feb 2019)
|
||||
- ["“Mapping” Religious Communities in the UK: Borders, Boundaries and Big Data"](https://jeremykidwell.info/presentations/201809-basr/) to the British Association for the Study of Religion (Sep 2018)
|
||||
- ["The Scottish Communities Report"](https://jeremykidwell.info/files/presentations/presentation_20180605_sccs/presentation_20180605_sccs.html#1) to the Stop Climate Chaos (Climate Coalition) board of directors. (Jun 2018)
|
||||
- ["Slow energy policy in a time of global emergencies"](https://jeremykidwell.info/presentations/201801_cambridge_energy/) to the Energy@Cambridge research initiative at Cambridge University (Jan 2018)
|
||||
- ["Analysing the Development Trust Association Scotland footprint"](https://github.com/kidwellj/dtas_analysis) to the Development Trust association board of directors meeting (May 2018)
|
||||
|
||||
with more to come...
|
||||
|
||||
## Highlights
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few nuggets in the presentations above for those who might be interested. For the Cambridge paper, I did some analysis on how awards within the Climate Challenge Fund map onto Eco-Congregations. See (https://github.com/kidwellj/ccf_wordcloud) for R code I developed which can produce a word cloud representing key words included in text of these grant descriptions.

What are the ethics of the modern debates between science and religion? In this chapter I suggest that there are actually a range of different ways that the debate between religion and science might be described as ethical. I note several ways that science and religion are brought into relationship in professional scientific ethics and suggest that within the space of professional scientific ethics there has been a tendency to sideline or absorb religious ethical perspectives. I then turn to more constructive "big issue" ethics and examine two specific cases: embryonic stem cell research and climate change in order to highlight ways that science and religion can sometimes be reduced to stereotypes: that scientists work with the real world and religion deals with ideas (and not reality!). I argue that looking more closely at the range of perspectives represented by scientists and religious leaders in both cases presents a much more complex case and that this in turn commends a kind of ethics which should be jointly pursued by both science and religion.

This article (PDF coming soon!) presents a GIS-based analysis using R which analyses the footprint of several environmental groups in Scotland against standard demographics. This is my first attempt to use RMarkdown in a sustained way, so it's taking a long time. Bear with me!

This article (PDF coming soon!) presents a GIS-based analysis using R which analyses the footprint of several environmental groups in Scotland against standard demographics. This is my first attempt to use RMarkdown in a sustained way, so it's taking a long time. You can find the current (reproducible) codebase in a github repository here: [https://github.com/kidwellj/mapping_environmental_action] and browse a compiled version of the paper here: [http://mapenvcom.jeremykidwell.info/mapping_draft.html]. The latter has compiled versions of the charts and graphs and will eventually have some interactive slippy maps.
