A. Peter Castro, Associate Professor of Anthropology has co-edited Climate Change and Threatened Communities: Vulnerability, Capacity, and Action. Practical Action Publishing
Global climate change disproportionately affects rural people and indigenous groups, but their rights, knowledge, and interests concerning it are generally unacknowledged. Shifts in precipitation, cloud cover, temperature, and other climatic patterns alter their livelihood pursuits and cultural landscapes, accentuating their existing social and economic marginalization. This book argues that planners and researchers of climate change mitigation and adaptation must take into account the knowledge and capacity of rural people, and engage them as active participants in the design and governance of interventions, not as a matter of courtesy, but because it is their right. Furthermore, inclusion of local communities in genuine partnership will likely make climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts more effective. Climate Change and Threatened Communities presents 15 case studies and a variety of approaches to document the capacities and constraints to be encountered among communities facing changing climates in Bangladesh, Cameroon, Canada, Ecuador, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malawi, Mexico, Mozambique, Peru, South Africa, Sudan, United States, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.

Farhana Sultana, Assistant Professor of Geography has co-edited, The Right to Water: Politics, Governance and Social Struggles published by Routledge.

Professor of Anthropology and International Relations, Robert A. Rubinstein's co-edited book Dangerous Liaisons: Anthropologist and the National Security State, has been published by SAR Press. In the context of heightened efforts of government agencies to marshal anthropological assistance in understanding terrorists' motivations, stabilizing nascent wartime governments and counter insurgencies, Dangerous Liaisons brings together an international group of distinguished scholars to explore relationships among military and intelligence agencies, the work of individual anthropologists and anthropology as a discipline.
PARCC Visiting Research Professor Isidor Wallimann is the editor of Social Policy According to the Polluter Pays Principle: Examples of Application in the Field of Addiction, Obesity, Abuse of Medicine, Unemployment, Prostitution. Published in German, the book is based on his previous (theoretical) publication exploring the potential for applying the polluter-pays principle to social policy and problem management. The application in social policy is strongly influenced by the tradition to apply the polluter-pays principle in environmental policy. Wallimann was also recently interviewed on the commercial role of applied research and its relationship to "pure" research by swissinfo.ch.
