Political Communication and Environmental Challenges
The Centre for Research in Communication and Culture and the Successful Transitions Under Environmental Change research theme will be hosting a research seminar on Political Communication and Environmental Challenges. The event will take place on May 14th from 10-11:30 in D201.
The research seminar will be centred around empirical studies at the intersection between politics, communication, environment/geography, and sociology – with four short research talks followed by a discussion period chaired by Duncan Depledge.
Please join us to discuss early-stage research on:
- “The role of civil society organizations in the European Union and their responses to climate change-induced migration” – Judith Fortunova-Russell
- “The scale and influence of the fossil fuel industry in sport sponsorship” – Theo Frixou
- “News avoidance and scepticism about anthropogenic climate change: Survey evidence from 18 countries” – Anthony Kevins and James Stanyer
- “Triadic polarisation in climate debates: Climate change and culture wars in English-language tweets in COP26 and 27” – Dayei Oh and John Downey
The event has been co-organised by Anthony Kevins, CRCC Political Communication Theme Lead, and Duncan Depledge, Research Challenge Lead for Successful Transitions Under Environmental Change.
We look forward to seeing many of you there!
