Summary
"In Capturing Glaciers, Dani Inkpen examines the many ways scientists have made and used photographs of receding glaciers and how the meanings and evidential value of such images evolved over time. This project sheds light on the challenges of conducting research about climate change, the challenges of enacting social change around environmental problems, and the ways that well-intentioned scientists can still replicate social inequalities"-- Provided by publisher.
