Maxwell Boykoff is a Departmental Lecturer in the School of Geography and the Environment, and a Research Fellow in the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford. Max’s research interests have been developing along two primary research streams: 1) examinations in the cultural politics of climate change, and 2) analyses of the transformations of carbon-based economies and societies. Cutting across these themes, his research has concentrated on interactions between state and non-state actors at the interface of environmental science, policy and practice. Among his writings, he is currently working on two books: one is called ‘Who Speaks for Climate? Making Sense of Mass Media Reporting on Climate Change’ for Cambridge University Press, and the second is an edited book entitled ‘The Politics of Climate Change’ for Routledge/Europa.
