Submission Deadline: 31st October 2023
We are delighted to announce that a special issue of Cambridge Prisms: Plastics will be published in association with the PlasticsFuture 2023 conference. The special issue invites papers that share new approaches to confronting plastic pollution across disciplines, sectors, and communities. We particularly encourage papers that explore innovative and creative ideas that provide new insights into tackling plastic pollution. Papers and authors are welcome from anywhere in the world. Given the current process of developing a global treaty to end plastic pollution, the need to explore innovative and creative options to confront plastic pollution has never been more pressing.
In this special collection, we welcome articles covering but not restricted to the following themes:
- The use of creative methods to tackle the causes and effects of plastic pollution
- New policy, legal, governance or institutional approaches
- New ways of engaging citizens in the fight against plastic pollution
- The use of arts-based methods for participatory and grassroots research
- The history and heritage of plastics
- Insight from lesser-heard voices
- Activism: the role of media, civil society, scientists, and individuals in tackling plastic pollution
