Call for Papers „Making Sense of Climate Change – Models, Cosmologies and Practices from North Africa and the Middle East”

Nonetheless, although some social scientists focusing on the MENA have addressed the issue (Sowers 2011, 2013; Barnes 2015), climate change is still widely absent in Middle Eastern studies and other disciplines relating to the region.
