Forging Further into Putting Sustainability into Practice Naomi T. Krogman, Maurie J. Cohen, and Emily Huddart Kennedy IndexReviews'Sustainability is a wicked societal problem that calls into question much current, and orthodox, understandings of consumption. Social practice theories promise to overcome many of the fundamental shortcomings in conventional theoretical and policy approaches to this societal problem. This edited collection takes us one, significant, step closer to realizing this promise. Advancing social practice theories by looking beyond private domestic consumption, the contributions to this book explore topics that include: power relationships; environmental civic practices through studies of social movements and community action groups; emotions and discourses; and 'social innovation' processes. In addition to offering coherent methodological developments, the book is one of a very few that seeks to bring theoretical insights into policy application, offering pathways for policy thinking illustrated through empirical research.'; - Dale Southerton, The University of Manchester, UK'For too long there has been a huge gap between thinking about sustainability, and actually doing something about it. This outstanding book questions the prevailing Norms and Nudge approach based on changing people's minds, and shows how practice theory can be used to move towards truly effective social change. This is a big step forward in rethinking the connection between consumerism and the limits of sustainability.'- Richard Wilk, Department of Anthropology, Indiana University; 'Sustainable consumption has become one of the most dynamic fields in the social sciences. Putting Sustainability Into Practice consistently demonstrates how the social practice approach has become the best alternative to behaviorist and rationalistic theories of social action and to nudge perspectives. It is definitely an insightful volume that should urgently be put into the hands of policy makers!'- Sophie Dubuisson-Quellier, National Center for Scientific Research, Sciences Po, Paris, France Author InformationEdited by Emily Huddart Kennedy, Washington State University, Maurie J.
