Broadening Understanding of Environmental Communication through Transdisciplinary Narratives on Climate Change - A Creative & Critical Exploration

This body of research contributes to the field of environmental communication, by expanding upon the more traditional notion of one-way 'messaging'. Rather, by integrating theory and practice, environmental communication is posited as developing a community’s own ecological storytelling capacity, and enhancing local capacity to identify and address environmental problems. The work draws from concepts in many fields including media communication, and the environmental humanities, but is grounded in creative practice as research.This item contains the research outputs and supportive evidence documentation for a Type T output, created for submission to REF2021.

本研究领域致力于拓展环境传播学，超越了传统的一元'信息传递'观念。相反，通过整合理论与实践，环境传播学被提出应发展社区自身的生态叙事能力，并增强当地识别和解决环境问题的能力。该研究汲取了媒体传播学、环境人文学科等多个领域的理论，但其根基在于创意实践作为研究方法。本项研究包含针对REF2021提交的T类型输出的研究成果和支持性证据文档。文章《危机学科：通过理论与实践拓宽环境传播学的理解》最初发表于《国际创意媒体研究杂志》，并可额外通过以下链接获取：https://doi.org/10.33008/IJCMR.2019.16。影片《TIMELINE》发布于同行评审网站SCREENWORKS: TIMELINE - Screenworks，其中包含研究陈述和评委评论。影片可通过以下链接获取：https://vimeo.com/172669824。下方的资助项目列表在研究时间轴（见文件2）中进行了详细说明，该时间轴提供了整体研究的时间顺序信息。
