摘要

气候变化是我们这个时代最紧迫的问题之一，但它在社会学中仍然是一个边缘话题。本研究利用引文网络分析、定性编码和计算文本分析，对2015年至2020年间发表在美国精英社会学、环境社会学和科学技术研究(STS)精选期刊上的文章进行分析，以更好地了解这些(子)领域如何接近或忽视气候变化的差异和相似之处。我们绘制了这些(子)领域中气候变化研究的结构关系图，并分析了与该主题的实质性和理论接触的模式。在分析的基础上，我们提出了在环境社会学和STS交叉领域进一步促进气候变化研究的潜在途径，并提出了研究人员将气候变化纳入社会学主流的初步策略。

Climate Silence in Sociology? How Elite American Sociology, Environmental Sociology, and Science and Technology Studies Treat Climate Change

Climate change is among the most pressing problems of our time, yet it remains a marginal topic in sociology. This study draws on citation network analysis, qualitative coding, and computational text analysis of articles published between 2015 and 2020 in select journals in U.S. elite sociology, environmental sociology, and science and technology studies (STS) to better understand differences and similarities in how these (sub)fields approach—or ignore—climate change. We map the structural relations of the research on climate change in these (sub)fields and analyze patterns in the substantive and theoretical engagement with the topic. Building on our analysis, we conclude by suggesting potential paths for stimulating further climate change research at the intersection of environmental sociology and STS and to propose tentative strategies for researchers to bring climate change into the sociological mainstream.
